Hello Sun, Thank you for telling me about safe mode - I did not know about it.
Sure enough, the problem seems to disappear in safe mode. I compared my profile with another user's profile. That user had not noticed the "hang" problem. The only difference in the profiles is that the other profile did not have Torbutton. So I uninstalled Torbutton from my profile. After 1 hour of use, I have not noticed the "hang" problem. Checking further, I found that I did not have Debian package iceweasel-torbutton installed on my system. I must have installed it direct from the mozilla website, which may have caused the problem. After some further testing, I will install the Debian iceweasel-torbutton package and see if I can use it without problems. Thanks also to the others who commented.
