Steps to reproduce:

Visit a website with embedded WebM (possibly mp4 too) content, like discord. Try to play webm. Most of the time media won't start playing until sencod time (refresh website with media or stop/start playback)

Actual results:

Almost immidieatly i noticed CPU hitting 80-90 degrees C, turnes out Firefox dumps core almost every second until closed completly (closing tab with media doesn't help)

Expected results:

WebM should start playing normally immidieatly, no core dumps should be performed. Chromium plays back same media fine.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Audio/Video
Product: Firefox → Core

Try disabling hardware decoding and see if it fixes it. From about:config, set 'media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled' to false.

Severity: -- → S4

It has fixed it, but is a shame since hardware decoding is one of main FF features on Linux
