@Oliver Tilloy (osomon): What I mean when I say "renders my machine useless" - the system is freezing. I have to hard boot it after a short time with only the home page of Firefox open. as long as I'm not starting Firefox - the system is working without any issues at all. for your question about updating, Yes I did.Unfortunately it didn't change the situation for me.
I already tried the usual stuff - refreshed the browser,created a new profile but didn't help. This is my first time ever I face such a strange unsolvable issue in Firefox.I have Ubuntu 16.04 (dual boot} And now I just forced to use it on a daily basis . if it was an hardware issue that could surface in the other system as well I believe. Thanks for looking at it.
