I had the same problem with FF 57 on Fedora 26; found solution on FF
forum:
go to about:config
and set accessibility.force_disabled = 1 (it's 0 by default)
worked for me.

Well, in my case it is also often longer than 30 secs, not sure
how long as I normally go and do something else while its loading
the pages. I don't think it is disk related, no obvious activity
(SSD disk and 16 G of RAM). No addons and reset all Firefox
settings etc. Internet access here is 80/20 Mbps FTTP and seems
solid so I don't think it is Internet connection related.
But the problem does seems to be network access related, maybe
multiple thread locking issues in Firefox ?

I did see this one mentioned for MS Windows systems and tried it just in
case, but it did not seem to have any effect in may case.
