Since V56, I have this weird problem with open tabs ...

So assume I am viewing in this current tab and I want to go to another webpage - I either search in the search box or type the address into this current tab. The cursor just spins and the tab does nothing. The only way to fix it is to open a new tab and close the old tab. It is similair to the other bug I have seen, but that relates to new tabs not loading anything I hope this makes sense

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

No, the problem so far seems to be gone - firefox is also lightening fast now. I'll disable all my addons until the problem returns
