I just installed Ubuntu 12.04.5 and have the same problem, but with a
difference.

On Lubuntu 14.04, when I have a crash, I click at "x" to close the
firefox window and I get a new window with the message:

The window "Mozilla Firefox" does not seem to be responding. Do you want
to force it to exit by sending the terminate signal?

and two buttons: "End Process" and "Cancel". If I click "End Process"
the firefox window closes.

On Ubuntu 12.04.5, when I have a crash and click at "x" to close the
firefox window, nothing happens. Neither I can quit firefox from "File"
menu, so I can't use firefox anymore until I reboot the system.

Title:
  firefox crashes at some websites

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  N: Unable to locate package pkgname

  When I visit some webpages, firefox freezes and I can't click anything
  or scroll up & down. Sometimes they freeze too fast and stay blank,
  but not very often. The webpage addresses appear normally in the
  address bar. And on the firefox tab the spinning thing freezes. I
  close the firefox window by clicking at "x" and I get the message:

  The window "Mozilla Firefox" does not seem to be responding. Do you
  want to force it to exit by sending the terminate signal?

  Two examples of websites where I have the problem:

  http://www.agame.com
  http://www.linuxquestions.org

  Sometimes appears at the google search pages, too.

  Pinging the URLs got the normal displays. And also there' s not seems
  to be a sudden large memory spike for these pages.

  It's still crashing if I run firefox in safe-mode. This is the
  terminal display:

  $ firefox -safe-mode

  (process:2768): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
  Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkRange::activate-slider' of type `gboolean' from rc file value "((GString*) 0xaba44aa0)" of type `GString'
  Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkRange::activate-slider' of type `gboolean' from rc file value "((GString*) 0xaba44a30)" of type `GString'
  Terminated

  Disabling plugins & extensions, re-installation of firefox, updating
  the system and re-installing of the OS didn't solve the problem.
