Does it depend on whether hardware acceleration is enabled (Options → Advanced → Use hardware acceleration when available)?

Does it happen in Safe Mode or with a new profile?

Looks like Flash has caused this problem. Because Image processing toolkit on Google+ is using Flash. May be the problem within flash caused Firefox to hang. 

This is no more reproducible.
