Firefox 54.01 hangs, even when in FF safe mode - Need to Force Quit

Hello, we are having an issue where Firefox will hang at random times, even when FF is in safe mode. It will also happen if the FF browser is open and just sitting there. This is happening on a number of Mac's here in our environment running OS 10.12.x I can take a brand new mac out of the box, install FF, configure our network setting and it will also hang. I've tried the typical profile and the other typical "fixes" without resolution. I'm hoping someone can assist in getting this resolved. I have a crash report that I can post if needed.

Thanks in advance! Gene

Thanks for looking into this. So it appears to be a bug in Firefox? If so, is there anything I can do to get around this issue or just wait for an updated version?

Please wait for help.

I hate to be a pain, but is anyone able to help out on this please? I've been waiting awhile and it's affecting our web developers in a huge way. They like the developer tools in FF and also need to test their sites in FF for compatibility.

Thanks..
