Problem With Random Facebook Post Comments and Reaction Emojis Not Opening In FF 53.0

There seems to be an intermittent problem with the "reaction" feature on random posts in ones feed not opening up to show the reactions to make a choice like love, laugh, cry, wow, or mad other than than the standard thumbs up. All it will let you do is use the thumbs up feature and nothing else and the comment section keeps spinning for about 30 to 45 seconds before it opens to let you make a comment which is much longer than normal. Once the comment section opens you can then change your reaction to whatever you want. This is not happening in IE 11. I am I am running Win7 Pro and Firefox 53.0. This problem did not seem to crop up until after the update to Firefox 53.0.

The Facebook issue described above is now completely gone since I am now using Firefox 52.0.2 (32 bit) and ABP 2.9.1. There was also a problem with videos in feeds intermittently stopping and starting while playing that cropped up after I posted the above problem which no longer happens since downloading 52.0.2. Another problem that cropped up after posting the above was the back page arrow in Facebook did not work properly. It would sit on the same page but in the address bar it would change and after it did work you found yourself about 3 to 5 pages back further than you wanted to be. This has also been resolved with the download of 52.0.2. All of these problems were reported to Facebook. I have also noticed a change in other websites that I visit such as Flickr. The scrolling is much smoother and the pages and images load quicker.

I feel this problem has been resolved so now Mozilla needs to resolve it's problems with the new versions of Firefox.
