944928 - Since the last security update on Nov. 16 2013 Firefox scrambles (repetitions, holes) internet TV.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131112160018

Steps to reproduce:

I have been using Mozilla Firefox for watching TV on the internet (www.ndr.de) for about two years now. It worked fine until recently.


Actual results:

Since the last security update on Nov. 16th Mozilla Firefox scrambles the TV broadcast. Firefox repeats parts of the TV broadcast and does not show other parts. The TV broadcast (www.ndr.de) still works fine on other browsers like the Internet Explorer, therefore the problem is with Firefox.


Expected results:

Firefox should keep displaying the TV broadcast (www.ndr.de) on the internet like it did before. Firefox is my main browser and I would like to keep it that way.

Better with current beta?  (29?)
What version of flash?  (assuming the video is flash)

The livestream works fine over here testing against

and using Adobe Flash 14.0.0.95 beta on a xDSL 16/2 line.
The Flash process takes ~15-18% CPU usage - same as with the ActiveX one when testing against MSIE 11.
