Thanks for (re)reporting this. How easy is it for you to reproduce? Are you only seeing it when playback speed is increased, as in bug 1582222, or in other situations?

It's not as easy as it used to be; the first time it died for me this time was at the end of a Tom Scott youtube, which is where the old one also used to die; but it doesn't want to repeat it on demand.
