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).
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

MY FF had not frozen or stopped, but it had gotten slow. making this setting:go to about:config
and set accessibility.force_disabled = 1 (it's 0 by default)
As recommended did change the apparent speed of loading pages. Thanks. Les H
