Doesn't FireFox randomly show the unresponding dialogue?

When I use FireFox, sometimes, it shows the unresponding dialogue of Gnome, that has “Force quit” and “Wait”. No matter how much I wait, the dialogue keeps re-appearing, and I could not copy the things that I have already typed on FireFox. The only way to get out of this state is force-quitting FireFox and restarting it.

I think it started to happen a few months ago. I don’t think this happened before that. I’m not sure but this probably often happened when I was typing something in FireFox.

Are other users also experiencing this?

To launch FF in safe mode:

firefox --safe-mode &
