No. I often have to do a hard power-off, but don't know if it's Firefox, 
or a plug-in, or anything else. (Usually under Windows but that's 
probably because I use that most often.)

(Firefox does have this annoying habit that if it crashes or hangs due 
to some page content, and you have to restart, then it will try restore 
the exact same page that caused the problem in the first place!)

I believe Firefox is open source so perhaps you can just find the 
problem yourself!
