When Firefox UI is is freezed, Firefox used 100% of CPU.
That's a freeze in mozilla::storage::Connection::prepareStatement(), Firefox may access your profile and something went wrong. Can you please try to create a new fresh profile (by $firefox -ProfileManager) and check if it also hangs?
After I created a new profile(and deleted old one), Firefox still hangs occasionally.(it hangs during I edit this comment :( )
Thanks. Can you please test a binary downloaded directly from Mozilla.com? And/or please test flatpak nightly package from https://firefox-flatpak.mojefedora.cz/. The problem may be caused by system sqlite which is enabled on Fedora 26.
I've been having this problem a lot since F26 upgrade, too. I am now using FF53.0.3 binary from Mozilla I just downloaded. Seems better already, but can't be sure yet.
While using Firefox binary from mozilla.com, I haven't meet this bug again.
Let's switch to in-tree sqlite in next update - Firefox 54.
So, I just had a hang using mozilla binary FF54.0.1. So, that's concerning.
Hmm, I can drag my window, though.
Okay, please reopen if you see such issue again.
this bug appears again at firefox-55.0.3-1.fc26.x86_64, so I open a new bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1491084
