Hello.
I'm using Firefox on quite ancient machine (amd64, though) and after
updating from firefox-56.0.1_3 to 56.0.2_3,1 it has become much more
sluggish - whole UI hangs during page loading, scrolling isn't smooth
anymore.
Anyone also see this?

Yep FF is starting to get on my nerves. Javascript brings it to it's
knees
Most sites make an unreasonable use of javascript though. The recent
news about sites and CDNs leveraging javascript to mine bitcoins make
things even worse.
My personal suggestion is to use noscript, most sites work quite fine
without javascript and even more sites work fine by allowing only a few
origins, but blocking dozens of third party scripts.
Noscript results in sites not working, ever try youtube
Mine was just a suggestion since I am quite fine using noscript
(whitelisting selected sites) and also using plugins to aggressively
limit cookies and referer. So really, I did not want to impose anything
on you.
As usual YMMV.
Just for completeness:
Whitelisting sites you actually use works fine and helps in making
firefox faster and more secure, because most sites include third party
scripts (for advertising usually) which are not required for the site
functionality, so it also makes it faster reducing the actual number of
running scripts.
Other browsers too get snappier when disabling unneeded scripts.
