Attached image screenshot —

While trying to load: https://edition.cnn.com/
I got the tab to freeze, which then prevents devtools from loading (we have an issue where devtools can't be opened as soon as one content process hangs).

A first "nightly" profile: https://share.firefox.dev/4dfrA4N
And a few minutes later, a "media" profile: https://share.firefox.dev/3B7QPsE

Except this tab (and devtools), firefox was functional.

This was on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, local build of today's mozilla-central (a51b9d3e7251d81217a4d7b3622a1658e9a23dfc).

Component: Audio/Video: GMP → Audio/Video: Playback

Severity: -- → S2
Summary: CNN.com tab freezes → CNN.com tab freezes (GMP / H264 related)

Not seeing widespread reports of this.

Severity: S2 → S3
No longer blocks: media-triage
