I think you've nailed it. It almost always happens when I've left a

Firefox will spend too much time saving to browser cache for the
"go back" to previous pages. If you add more ram FF automatically
increases the browser cache, the recommendation is to manually set
the size of the cache to about 60M with "about:config".

1)Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
2)Right click any line to bring up a sub-menu
3)Choose “new”>”integer”
4)paste this into the dialogue that appears:
browser.cache.memory.capacity
5)Next click Okay
6)Specify the amount in kb (about 60000 should do) in the next dialogue
that appears
7)Restart Firefox.
