Disabling Adobe Flash Protected mode does not helps.

This is definitely worth investigating as it seems to be a regression compared to firefox39. Adding a tracking flag for firefox40 only as firefox41 is set to status: unaffected. Can somebody also check whether this is an issue for firefox41 or not? We may need to add a firefox41 tracking flag as well if that is the case.

Based on comment 3, adding a tracking flag for firefox41.

I don't see how this is related to Bug 1164952, but if it is then here is a try push (based on aurora tree) that may fix the problem: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=af8bc1da4cef.

Here is a try push with the same patch based on nightly that's almost done: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=0aa4dff36873.  This build could be used if Dev Edition theme is activated in the addons manager and then the browser is restarted.

The video problem is fixed on the try-builds .

Given that the try builds from bug 1164952 fixed this issue, setting status-firefoxN to "fixed".
