Please consider turning on send info to Mozilla before posting a question. This helps us help you. As I have no info from your system that would help see things that cause issues. So am guessing.

Update Video Card Drivers, if info was on could have seen card, given URL to go get, and inspected the drivers for corruption.

No idea of your browser , says 56.0

So please uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved.

Reinstall Firefox 57 Quantum Full Version Installer https://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Mozilla-Firefox-for-Windows/1032985422/1 site gets file day before goes up on Mozilla Servers, used for 20yrs. Note : Legacy Extensions will be disabled and or removed.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
