On certain websites the screen freezes and melts. forced to reboot

I am using a mac. I can access these websites through Google chrome and as recent as two days ago I could access them on Firefox. At first I thought it might be my computer so I tried a different browser and it works fine. I think maybe some changes have been made to the sites that Firefox can no longer handle. When I access one of these sites the screen freezes from top to bottom and melts like acid is eating it. The only thing I can do is reboot.

Here are some of the links

Just for the record(and to get you back to the head of the queue for help), I have no trouble accessing any of these websites with Win7 and Fx37.

I have an Apple IMac and run 10.6.8 The difference in hardware and operating systems should explain your success

I did acknowledge the difference but, normally, in running Firefox it shouldn't make the slightest difference.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Try to disable IPv6 (check for other possible causes as well).
