I don't see that.  It could be that the page, at *that* time, was
trying to reference something from Google, and that bit of things
wasn't loading.

Though I'd be surprised that something on Firefox's homepage was doing
that.  I'm more inclined to think it was Firefox auto-checking for
updates to the Google search feature.

Did you completely quit Firefox and restart it since the update?

I've found that if Firefox is running while it's updated, it soon goes
into an unusable condition.  Close all open Firefox windows, check
there's no processes still open (downloads, background doo-dads, etc). 
And for the big fight, if it's not quitting, run "killall firefox" in a
command line, or "killall -9 firefox" if you need the really big
hammer.

My Firefox, pre-update was 54.0.1 (64-bit), and working fine.
Post update, is 55.0.1 (64-bit), and still working fine.
Including with the firefox.com link in your message.
