after about 30 min of use Firefox just freezes including mouse. Doesn't let me shut down either I have to use task manager. This just started on 5/2/17 after you update.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
