Do you have any crash IDs? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Mozilla%20Crash%20Reporter

no, just checked and there are no crash reports, probably as it forces the tablet to shut down and then restart.

Sounds like the device is running out of memory. Is there a specific site that causes this issue? Are you running Flash?
