This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-960a070b-5ab1-4036-967f-50ba30171008.

This looks related to mozilla::H264Converter::Init. This is a Nightly-only crash, starting on the 20171007100128 build. It isn't clear to me how many distinct installations are actually involved here, but it has been happening on more than one day since the 7th. Some YouTube urls in the crashes.

It's caused by bug 1403849. Turns out MediaCodecInfo.getCapabilitiesForType() throws runtime exception rather than returns empty capabilities when none declared.
