Just upgraded to FF 57 and it certainly looks pretty enough,
but the address bar is flickering back and forth violently, as if trying to re-size itself and failing. I think it's trying to give me epilepsy.
It does this with a blank page or with webpages, but not internal pages like about:addons.
I had a custom size for the address bar set with Classic Theme Restorer, can it have to do with that?
edit: and it only goes on while the screen is maximized, de-maximizing stops it.

Just discovered the culprit is the new version of Greasemonkey!

Greasemonkey itself, or one of the scripts you're running with it?

Re: FF 57 address bar flickering violently
Well, it looks like it's not really Greasemonkey.
After I disabled it the address bar stopped flickering, but now this morning it's back to doing it again.
So I will probably just have to set up a new profile.
edit:
in Customize I set the toolbars to 'compact' and it's stopped flickering, for now.
