Comment (by gk):

 Just to give some small update as this is a surprisingly bit PITA: A
 crucial part of the issue plays NoScript: if one disables it the problem
 in this bug goes away. If one leaves it enabled then it is safe to say the
 problem got introduced between `FIREFOX_AURORA_52_BASE` and
 `FIREFOX_BETA_52_BASE`. The exact commit is not clear yet as I get hard to
 reproduce crashes in the area of interest which are related to the problem
 I think.
