Public bug reported:
Just received the upgrade. Unfortunately, firefox is hardly usable now.
Rather frequently, CPU usage jumps up to 100% of a core, with the FF UI
completely frozen. In some occasione, the hang is temporary. In others
it is permanent and the application must be terminated.
I suggest reverting ubuntu to FF 54 until the FF 55 issues are resolved
upstream.
