After update 57.0, Firefox freezes for 2 seconds every 5 seconds.
The freezing is very regular, every 5 seconds the browser stops responding for a few seconds (usually 2-3 seconds). Refreshing did not help. Restarting the PC fixes this problem momentarily, but problem comes back after 30 min or so. Once the problem starts, the browser keeps freezing even if i close and re-open the browser, and it makes no difference if im on homepage, random site or help menu, it keeps freezing.

Go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Help ? --> Troubleshooting Information Page and take a look in the Accessibility section if accessibility is set to "true" there. if yes, go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser. Restart Firefox
