It works as long as I don't open Firefox. If I open Firefox, poof!! No
more trapped smoke. lol

So I had suggested running it in gdb and someone else suggested
running it in strace. Did you have a chance to try either of those?
Not sure how much info you'll get from either but might be worth a try.

I don't know what gdb is. If my machine locks up, I won't be able to see
what strace does. I'm not sure that will help.

gdb is the GNU Debugger. As for the usability of strace in your case,
if you can see the last few calls before the lock-up occurs, it could
help narrow things down a bit. Also, if you SSH into the machine and
run firefox through strace via that (drawing to the machine's local
screen, not the SSH client's), you will have anything it can give in a
workable form, even after the system hangs. You might also test
whether it crashes while running Firefox via SSH and drawing to a
different machine, which (if it does) would allow you to sit on a real
terminal on the main system and see the kernel's output in the instant
of the crash or (if it doesn't) would narrow it down to X being a key
factor.
I'm like Peanut on the Jeff Dunham comedy skit. Take your hand and go
over your head and say whoooosh. I better wait on a fix because I may
break more than I learn. O_O
