Here’s a screen recording of the graphics corruption in Firefox 40.0a2 on OS X 10.10.3:

Also affects Firefox 36.0 on OS X 10.10.3, but apparently not 38.0 on Ubuntu 15.04 - Gnome 3.

interesting.
file plays fine with either VDA forced (media.apple.forcevda=true)

or disabling hardware decoding in VideoToolbox (media.hardware-video-decoding.enabled=false)

When using VT with HW decoding, I get a lot of crap around where the video should be displayed (which itself is green with most GPU, except ATI which displays crap)

I have submitted a bug at Apple. Bug 22110769

The issue appears to be with Apple's VideoToolbox framework when required to output RGB32A.

When using VideoToolBox with hardware acceleration on, lots of nastiness can happen with some videos.

Not sure on how to simply bypass this without disable HWA alltogether

Can we detect this issue with the graphics/video self test in 41?

Probably too late by then as on some mac that cause a restart.
