[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

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

Thanks for reporting! To help diagnose this issue better, please can you:

1. Type "about:support" in Firefox and copy-paste its contents here
2. Does this reproduce in a clean profile or Troubleshoot Mode?
3. Open about:crashes in firefox. There will be several links there. Please click on the most recent one. It will take you to crashstats page. Please copy the link to that URL and paste it here. (In other words, we would like to know the crash signature of the crashes you see)
