I had problems with Firefox freezes (very long delays responding to any mouse click) on several systems (linux and macOS). Removing the Mr. Robot add-on (https://www.engadget.com/2017/12/16/firefox-mr-robot-extension/) seems to have restored normal operation.

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 ?
