User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Firefox: 57.0.2, Build ID 20171206182557

I have not managed to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 x64, Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and Mac 10.12 with Firefox release (57.0.2) and the latest Nightly (59.0a1) build installed. I've installed the following add-ons: LastPass, OneNote Web Clipper; Cisco WebEx; (I could not find the WebRoot Filtering Extension add-on) and I have not encountered any hangs, freezes or crashes. While looking for the WebRoot add-on I've found the following support link https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1082889, so there is a chance that this issue is caused by it.
Could you please retest this issue without the WebRoot add-on installed?

If the WebRoot add-on caused this, then probably this issue is related to Bug 1371387.
Jim, could you please give us your opinion regarding this issue?

Marking this as Resolved - Incomplete due to the lack of response from the reporter.
If anyone can still reproduce it on the latest versions, feel free to reopen the issue and provide more information.

I can confirm that this is still occurring on latest version of Firefox. We have hundreds of users and one of them is reporting this using Windows 7 x64 on new Thinkcentre hardware. Webroot add-on was installed, but disabled. Cisco Webex also installed. 

User clicked on a valid link in Yahoo webmail (I verified the link as a local news site), computer froze, CTRL-ALT-DEL yielded "Failure to display security and login options" and subsequent lockup requiring hard reboot.

Hope this helps someone else, let me know if I can collect more info (although the computer is hard to access during business hours).
