            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.

    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 ?
