Once a video (wmv, divx, m4v) has loaded and begun to play, video playback is choppy and I am completely unable to interact with Minefield.  Twice found process container.exe consuming 90%+ of processor cycles (obviously affecting overall system performance).  Killing process clears problem but it reoccurs if I try to play videos on the web from Firefox 4.0b5pre.  Same videos work if accessed from Chrome 6.0. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

>Once a video (wmv, divx, m4v) has loaded and begun to play
Firefox can't play wmv, divx or m4v videos

>Twice found process container.exe consuming 90%+ of processor cycles
YOu are using a plugin that itself seems to play this videos but your forgot to add the used plugin and plugin version in your Report.
You also failed to include an example page.

What have you done with your User Agent ?
How many net addons have you installed ?

Mass-closing old Extension Compatibility bugs that relate to legacy add-ons or NPAPI plug-ins. If you think this bug is still valid, please reopen or comment.

Sorry for the bug spam, and happy Friday!
