Browser often crashes or lags when accessing Google services

Firefox crashes when trying to log in or add an account on Google services. It will also sometimes lag or not load when searching or trying to access Google Maps etc.

The first part happens whenever a website has a login with Google option, or if I attempt to go to accounts.google.com and do it there. As soon as I start typing in the input box it hangs after a letter or 2. I can reproduce this hang consistently. When it crashes, there is a URL in the bottom left indicating the browser is trying to access something.

I've cleared my cache and cookies and the problem remains. In addition, the Firefox crash reporter is empty and hasn't registered any crashes, even though it has clearly hanged and is visible in Windows Event Viewer (attached). This only happens on Google pages, so any help would be appreciated as obviously I switched from Chrome for better performance but I still need to access their services.
