hi, as a workaround you can try this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named security.sandbox.content.level. double-click it and change its value to 2 and restart firefox once. you're the second user with this program and the same issue, so i'll also file a bug report for this issue...

hi, are you using any third-party font managers on the affected system?

I have Font Agent Pro installed, but not sure if this effects my browsing experience.

Hi JonathanWilcock,

This should be now fixed in Firefox 57.0.2. Can you please update and set security.sandbox.content.level back to default to see if everything works fine now? Please let us know the result.

Thank you!
