"Wait a moment" crashes?

Hi folks.
I'm getting an increasing frequency of crashes in OS using FF 50.0.2.
Anyone else?
Symptoms:-
Model is replaced by text stating "Wait a moment"
Waiting does nothing.
F5 to refresh yields the error "It looks like your browser doesn't have WebGL enabled. Click here for more information."
Closing and reopening FF fixes problem.
It's doesn't happen that often, maybe a couple of times a week.
Cheers,
Owen S.

The "Wait a moment" message is displayed when the browser destroys the WebGL context that Onshape uses. Generally speaking, it is supposed to come back quickly with a new context. However, it sounds like it never does for you.
Given that even a page refresh does not resolve the issue, it is likely that Firefox is experiencing a bug of its own, and cannot produce new graphics contexts until it is restarted. It is possible this is due to an update to Firefox, an update to your graphics driver, or both. You're running the latest Firefox version, so that cannot be updated. Updating your graphics driver may resolve the issue.
If you continue to experience the issue, please post your graphics card and driver details so we can track the issue.6
