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.

Is anyone else seeing issues with Firefox freezing up for 30secs or more when web pages are opened in TABS ?
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.
Since the latest Firefox 57 this is happening a lot for me (every 10 mins or so). Seems to lockup while downloading the page. You can still operate Firefox by clicking on menu's/Tab's etc, but no tab windows have thier web content updated. Normally the new tabs content are blank, but sometimes a small amount of the web page is rendered before the freeze. No obvious high CPU usage when it happens. Its as if the network has stopped, but other applications such as google-chrome are still working.
This is with Fedora27, KDE Plasma and with an NFS mounted home
directory.
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.

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 ?
