I had the same problem with FF 57 on Fedora 26; found solution on FF forum:
go to about:config and set accessibility.force_disabled = 1 (it's 0 by default)
worked for me.

I had problems with Firefox freezes (very long delays responding to any mouse click) on several systems (linux and macOS).

I see something similar with FF57 on Centos-7. it tends to go on for much longer than 30 seconds, and the HD activity light is pegged ON for the duration. I'm guessing it may be a swap storm, but I don't see unusually high memory usage in top. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us <mailto:fredex@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us> ----------------------------- The Lord is like a strong tower.

Well, in my case it is also often longer than 30 secs, not sure how long as I normally go and do something else while its loading the pages. I don't think it is disk related, no obvious activity (SSD disk and 16 G of RAM). No addons and reset all Firefox settings etc. Internet access here is 80/20 Mbps FTTP and seems solid so I don't think it is Internet connection related. But the problem does seems to be network access related, maybe multiple thread locking issues in Firefox ?

I did see this one mentioned for MS Windows systems and tried it just in case, but it did not seem to have any effect in may case.
