Bug#886596: firefox-esr: Firefox-esr 52.5.2 hangs on most websites, most website icons are missing, no youtube html5 playback

[Mark]

Package: firefox-esr
Version: 52.5.2esr-1~deb8u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I started the browser, the start page loads fine.

I tried logging in to websites I use regularly and normally on firefox, chrome,
edge, and safari on other machines.

The browser unfailingly hangs on virtually all these websites. For instance,
some of them are: Microsoft Onedrive, Gmail, etc. In addition, labels on
website buttons and banners are missing.

I was hoping upgrading from esr 45.9 which I compiled from source (and spent a
lot of time on getting correct) would upgrade to an equally stable and more up-
to-date version of esr with 52.5.2, but this appears not so.

The functionality of 45.9 was fine, please just apply the security changes in
52.5.2 to it and hopefully browsing should be good.

I am running Jessie 8.10.
