I would investigate the virtual memory system. That's based on your reply to Roger Heflin, and the 8GB of RAM and no swap file. Maybe start with `vm.overcommit_memory = 2` in `/etc/sysctl.conf`. The 2 says, "say no if we don't have the memory". Firefox is a memory hog. It gets worse as you add more tabs. I would add more RAM and a swap partition. Or I would use a less resource intensive browser. If you really want to see memory pressure pain, then install Solaris. It does not overcommit memory like Linux does.
