Long tapping on a youtube video on Firefox 34 or 35 Beta 1, nothing happens. (it's a flash video)
Long tapping on a youtube video on 36 Aurora and 37 Nightly, a context menu appears. (it's a html5 video)

Also http://www.intel.com/museumofme/mobile/index.htm flickr on all channels and no context menu appears on long tapping.

Can you find a regression-range so we can get evaluate a fix for Firefox 35?

Attachment: youtube-logs.txt

I have attached the logs while playing the youtube desktop site video.
Alcatel One Touch (Android 4.1.2) is the only device I can reproduce the issue on.
I cannot find a regression range because at first try I've installed some older builds (for example 01/08, 15/09, 11/10) and I could not reproduce the issue. At a second try, I reproduce the issue on these buils. This happened a few times.

Fixed by MediaCodec work, but we are not uplifting of all that fix to Fx35. Fix will ride the trains.
