tvguide.com is an example. If I try accessing it, Firefox freezes and I need to use Task Manager to end Firefox

Is the problem just with that page, or the whole website?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
