Imgur freezes, stops my browser from responding then browser shuts down. What's the problem here?

Bascially what the question says. I'd go browse Imgur but after a while, it freezes. Then my browser says "not responding". Ocasionally it will start working again after a minute or so, but most of the time it just closes. When I open Firefox again, it usually recovers all the tabs I had open. This only happens when I browse Imgur, it so far has not happened with any other site.

I do frequent Imgur, so I would like to fix this. Can anyone help me?
