I had similar issues after doing a complete reinstall of my system (Ubuntu 14.04) and using the propietary drivers that
came with Ubuntu.  
 
Each time Fire Fox was open the system hanged.  However Firefox 's higher memory consumption was 
a side effect of the main culprit.  Even setting the: about:memory -> minimize memory usage did not help. 
So i knew i had to look elsewhere. 

Both my Nvdia 740M and FireFox where eating all the memory on the
system.

Installing the latest bumblebee drivers fixed it , as i have no freezes
anymore.

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus nvidia-331

Title:
  Firefox continuously freezes and freezes the rest of the system
  (Ubuntu 14.04)

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “mozillateam-ppa” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Important Update: The problem is solved when I erased .mozilla folder
  (locate in /home) and reopen firefox to recreate the folder
  '.mozilla'. Maybe a corrupt file or bad writing.

  Problem:
  Without opening Firefox, the computer works perfectly, but when you open and use Firefox starts the first freeze, and the whole system starts to become extremely slow. If I try to close Firefox and reopen it back, says there is an open process that I must close. In "No Add-ons mode" the same problem happens.
