Thanks to you and everyone else who replied.
I think it is my computer, because I got a blue screen when I wasn't
on that site. It seems to happen when I hold down a key for too long
-- a key like Shift, Ctrl or Alt. In the cases that I mentioned I was
holding down the Shift key before entering the first word of my reason
for deleting the relationship.
So it seems that my computer is at fault here, and not the site.

I have noticed that Firefox seems to give "not responding" messages
more frequently of late, and sometimes the only way to regain control
of my computer is to close the browser. And when I do that, it
sometimes wants to send a message to Microsoft about
plugincontainer.exen having a problem and having to close. I suspect
that that message should be sent to Mozilla instead.
I suspect that web designers are making their sites more complicated,
which makes them slow to load and hard to read. But I don't think that
that is related to the phenomenon I asked about.
