I am currently on FF 57.0 but I have had this problem on earlier versions the past 3-4 months. I have Windows 10 running on a Macbook Pro. After wake-up from sleep, the browser becomes irresponsive. I have tried safe mode, refresh, etc. to no avail. I can still browse, but the user interface won't respond and I have to eventually kill the process and restart FF.
