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-onto 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.

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.
