YMMV.
All depends on your browsing habits, if you keep countless tabs open, how often you
close the browser and a thousand other variables. It might also be some shitty java
script only activated when the website sees a never Firefox version or even bad
browser sniffing.
No countless tabs, often just one. I don't run the browser continuously.
I suggest using a script and adblocker if you don't already do so. If it still
freezes it should always do it on the same pages then.
uBlock Origin. Noscript became impossible, making things work that I needed to have
work on a specific site became a time-wasting game.
And if you did go back from 2.51 your profile might have corruption too. Check for
indexDB or storage errors on startup. If you see some you need to clean it first.
I haven't been playing pioneer, lately, and no explicit startup errors.
Just back up your profile and try it. It might not work for you or it might be
better. You won't know until you try it out.
OP asked if 2.49.1 ever froze. It has, but not often enough to make it unusable. It
can go for prolonged periods without crashing at all. It has crashed under
stress...for example, SM 2.49.1 popped like a soap bubble when I tried sending a
particularly enormous email loaded with animated GIFs. Weirdly, that happened both
when I attached the files AND when I then tried sending by reference. (In the latter
case the email DID at least go through.) But it has also crashed when absolutely
nothing out of the ordinary is going on, when it will go into its "white out"
routine, as described, and I have to kill and restart. No rhyme or reason I've been
able to spot. Just a guess: script! I will remember your backup and indexDB advice.

Sadly, I'll have to say yes. 2.49.1 is better than 2.48, but 2.46 was more stable
than either of those. How much risk you'd be running, continuing to use an older
version, I can't tell you.
