Please update to the newest version of firefox and try to reproduce the bug.
Can you also reproduce it with javascript disabled?

I have recently observing similar issues: Its Firefox 60.6.1esr (32bit). The impact is quite dramatic. Mouse becomes frozen completely for extended periods of time, windows cannot be moved or minimized.

Any help, please? We use the 'esr' version 60.7.2, its not up to me to replace it by the newest main trunk version.
