1362256 - High CPU on YouTube without video playing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1363176

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect)

Description

[ffbug]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build ID: 20170504100357

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new profile and start Nightly using it.
2. Open the page of any YouTube video. Doesn't matter if it's paused or not.
3. Scroll down until comments no longer loading and you have reached bottom.


Actual results:

Memory rapidly goes up then returns to normal. A CPU thread (i7 4700MQ) reaches 100% (by the content process) and remains there until tab is closed. Reproducible most of the time.

Captured profile: https://perfht.ml/2pMPr82


Expected results:

After the page stops loading and the video is paused/finished, CPU usage should be low.

If I may, I don't think this is a playback issue. In fact, I was able to find that the issue won't be present if I block (using the umatrix extension) scripts from "www.google.com". There is only one javascript from this domain for me and it was on this specific link: https://www.google.com/js/bg/t25eXuZr9l7mSvN9V6HjD1Wd1Xq9FZoNok7fncZiLZc.js. In case it's inaccessible for others, I've uploaded to pastebin: https://pastebin.com/JGBGb039

I apologize, the info in Comment 1 is _partly_ false. Blocking XHR of "www.youtube.com" using the same extension was what actually worked. Also, I was able to stop the issue by using an extension to block _only_ the comment section while the video was playing, therefore something is wrong with the comment section. If further info is needed, let me know.

ffbug,
Thanks for your help to fire this bug and keep figuring out the problem. 
Bug 1354641 is just backed out yesterday.
Could you help test today's nightly to see if this bug is fixed by that backout. 
Thanks.
