I'm using a Nightly beta version 59.0a1 (2017-12-15) (64-bit), and I have no problems at all.

Usually, if you go to your hard drive, delete all FF stuff except for your bookmarks and passwords and reinstall, you'll be fine. I always reboot just as a superstition after that to make sure my new settings are "set".

eta: on Firefox 57.0.2 (64-bit) now and no problems here.
