1948287 - Consider closing off http channels used for media playback more often instead of suspending

Status: NEW

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

Description

[Paul Adenot (:padenot)]

The fact that websites sometimes have lots of videos at once potentially playing + the limit of connection per origin is a bad mix. We should consider closing channels more frequently instead of suspending them, at the expense of having to re-establish a connection and make another 206. it's better than having everything blocked like it is today.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1776558#c14 and the whole bug captures the problem well.
