I updated Firefox on Linux Mint 18.1 to latest version this morning. (I can't tell you what latest Firefox version number is, because:) Firefox opens and after about 45 seconds the computer freezes completely, with me doing nothing. If I actually try to log in to Firefox or do anything else, the freeze takes about 5 seconds. I have to do a hard reboot. I've never had this trouble before, and other browsers (Chromium, Opera) work normally. Any suggestions?
