Details

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
Build ID: 20160516030211

[Affected versions]:
- Firefox Nightly 49.0a1

[Affected platforms]:
-Windows 7, Windows 10
- Mac OS X 10.11

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Launch the latest Nightly
2. In a new tab, navigate to Netflix and start playing any video
3. Open a new tab, navigate to Amazon and start playing any video
4. After the videos played for a couple of minutes, start switching between them.

[Expected result]:
The videos should properly play after switching between tabs.

[Actual result]:
Videos are flickering shortly when tabs are switched.

[Regression range]:
Seems to be a regression since this issue is not reproducible on Aurora 48. I will post the exact regression range as soon as possible.

[Additional notes]:
Reproduced the issue on several machines with different HW.
The issue is easily reproducible on Windows 10.
Reproducible only on the latest Nightly 49.
likely the same as bug 1272919.

It might be, the mozregression tool also took me to this pushlog:

https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/pushloghtml?fromchange=13e4cb81d4eb1c4996daf34c68301ca8a8ab0183&tochange=2fe467985f04512869ca7daa1a2db286642ce127  - Bug 1224973.

Not 100% sure since while trying to regress between the mozilla-inbound changesets I was limitated by Bug 1272627 that was fixed by Bug 1272422.
