After upgraded Firefox 56.0.2 (64-bit) to 57, Firefox start but it is only visible on the task bar in Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. If I move the mouse over the icon in the task bar, the thumbnails of open tabs appear and only shows the full page if I move the mouse over any thumbnails but disappears when I move out the mouse. The task manager shows that Firefox runs multi processes but I can't see his interface.

I have the impression that video acceleration from this version don't works with my internal GPU. I have only an old PC with a Core 2 Quad.

Ok, the simple solution that I found was to remove all extensions in my profile and then I restarted the browser. It was running correctly after that.
