I can think of a couple things that might be going on...
1) some web sites are still designed to work with Internet Explorer. If a web site wants to use ActiveX, for example, this would make it difficult, if not impossible, to use Firefox on Linux. Download and install the User Agent Switcher add-on, select IE, and see if that helps (although it couldn't do anything about ActiveX if that's the issue).
2) Do you have java/javascript enabled, and is Flash installed/enabled?
3) It could be a bug in Firefox; some kind of memory issue perhaps. Unfortunately it's difficult to diagnose, for me at least, without playing around with it more.
