When I first launch Firefox (version 4.x or 5.0), it works fine for the first few hours. If when I am finished for several hours or overnight, and I leave multiple windows (each with multiple tabs) open, when I try to start up again with unlocking the computer, I find it completely unresponsive. I have to either do a hard reboot or wait 3-5 minutes before even task manager comes up to kill Firefox. If I kill Firefox via Task Manager (and it takes multiple tries), the computer comes normally responsive the instant Firefox has been killed off.

I have repeated the same type of browser usage with both Microsoft IE and Google Chrome, and the computer never becomes unresponsive.

Here are the high-level details of my laptop:
