How to Avoid mozilla firefox to hang to load webpage

In my system mozilla firefox browser often hangs initially while loaded serveral tabbed web page. In fact on my debian version linux the program is iceweasol. If the tabbed browser load is higher or if there is many tabbed webpage then while initially loading the webpage mozilla get stuck and I can't work with it. Though I kill by using kill -9 everytime and try to load again it hangs. It is really cumbersome work.

The extra work if you run program as root and the later pid of process is not 1 then while killing process as root at exists as root user and goes as normal user. So again I have to logon as root and have to run firefox. But if later process id is 1 then it remains as a root user.

Like,
debian:/home/Arju# kill -9 4502 4495
Arju@debian:~$ ----It switches to normal user

debian:/home/Arju# kill -9 4447 1
debian:/home/Arju# -----As later process id is 1 so does not exit root user.

In order to avoid the problem while loading your mozilla firefox browser with multiple tabbed page just click some tabs and select the stop button. Now firefox will load the other page. And after loading successfully other pages you can reload pages that you stopped.
