I have tested your issue on latest Firefox release v52.0.2 and latest Nightly (Build ID: 20170403030207) and could not reproduce it. I have opened the link from comment 1 in multiple tabs but the browser didn't hanged or crashed.

Is this still reproducible on your end ? If yes, can you please retest this using latest Firefox release and latest Nightly build (https://nightly.mozilla.org/) and report back the results ? When doing this, please use a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even safe mode, to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause (https://goo.gl/AR5o9d). 

Please, can you provide the Craash ID? Go to about:crashes and there should be the crash report ID in the form of bp-...

Considering the fact that I cannot reproduce this and the fact that the reporter did not answered to my request until now, I will mark this as Resolved-Worksforme.

If anyone can still reproduce it on latest versions, feel free to reopen the issue and provide more information.
