User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:11.0a1) Gecko/20111207 Firefox/11.0a1 Build ID: 20111207031110 Steps to reproduce: 1/ Update Nightly to the latest version and create a new profile 2/ Install add-on Adblock Plus (adding a blocklist subscription is not necessary) 3/ Go to http://video.webmfiles.org/elephants-dream.webm (WebM video) Actual results: The video starts but the control bar (start/pause, timeline, sound level, fullscreen buttons) is hidden and it's impossible to display the statistics by right clicking on the video. Restart the Nightly in safe mode and video overlays are visible again. Expected results: Add-on Adblock Plus should'nt have to block WebM video overlays.

This isn't limited to Adblock Plus - the same thing happens with any extension using content policies. I've attached a minimal nsIContentPolicy implementation (does nothing but log nsIContentPolicy calls), the problem is reproducible with this extension as well. I see two exceptions in the Error Console that are apparently related: Error: Permission denied for <http://video.webmfiles.org> to get property Object.dynamicControls Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/videocontrols.xml Line: 452 Error: this.Utils is undefined Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/videocontrols.xml Line: 307 Video controls fails to initialize because of these, everything else is just follow-up errors.
Confirming (reproduced in the current Firefox 11.0a1 nightly on Windows 7 x64) and tweaking summary. This is a regression, Firefox 8 works fine.

Summary: Add-on Adblock Plus blocks WebM video overlays (control bar, statistics) → Video controls fail to initialize if an extension implementing nsIContentPolicy is present
Wladimir, thanks for clarifying the bug issue. In addition I observed a weird side-effect of this bug when the video is embedded into a webpage like http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/prerelease.html (OGV video, no autoplay). STR: 1/ Start the latest Nightly in safe mode with new profile and add-on Adblock Plus. 2/ Open 2 tabs: ++ 1st tab: open http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/prerelease.html (embedded video, no autoplay) ++ 2nd tab: open http://videos-cdn.mozilla.net/serv/qa/qa-360p-mp4.theora.ogv (direct video link, autoplay) In both tabs, video controls are visible. 3/ Close Nightly and restart it normally (NO safe mode). 4/ Even if Adblock Plus is enabled, the 1st tab DISPLAYS video controls on embedded video and the 2nd tab doesn't display video controls on direct video (according to this bug). 5/ Restart Nightly normally a 2nd time, in both tabs, video controls are not displayed (according to this bug).
Regression range with STR of comment #0 and Minimal content policy of comment #3 .

Also if you right click and use the controls of the menu the controls don't work.

Requesting "tracking-firefox11", as this is a regression in Firefox 11 (which is migrating from Nightly to Aurora in a few days).

Bug 711675 is probably related.
Hmm. Are we now ending up with content policy checks (for the external stylesheet) before we've set up the script global for the document? That's what's caused this problem in the past.... Jared, are you owning this?

It would need to be fixed in the code that starts the loads, so in this case in VideoDocument::CreateSyntheticVideoDocument Basically, that code runs _very_ early, before the window for the document has been created. Doing anything in there that might execute script (including starting loads of any sort) is unsafe. So in particular, the patch for bug 700854 is wrong. Maybe we could change the timing of that call to also happen during SetScriptGlobalObject just like the document-element-inserted notification. Someone who understands this code would need to check that. The other option is to just postpone the stylesheet load until after we have a script global.

Might bug 693206 help to avoid this? Easy enough to try, I suppose.

Attached patch WIP of patch for bug 708431 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
I have installed the minimal content policy add-on that was attached to this bug. Before this patch, the browser would hang when visiting a webm file directly (in debug mode). After this patch, the video now loads but the controls still fail to appear. When I hover over the video, this warning message prints to the console. It seems to print to the console for every mouse movement. > WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(piTarget) failed: file c:/mozilla-central/obj-dir/content/events/src/../../../../content/events/src/nsEventDispatcher.cpp, line 531 I have also made the same change for ImageDocuments, under the assumption that if it was bad to do this for VideoDocuments, then we should probably fix it in ImageDocuments also.

Comment on attachment 583953 [details] [diff] [review] Patch for bug 708431 I added the call to MediaDocument::SetScriptGlobalObject and the warning is now gone. I've tested this with the "Minimal content policy for testing" attachment and the controls with and without the addon enabled.

Comment on attachment 583953 [details] [diff] [review] Patch for bug 708431 You should probably only do the LinkStylesheet thing when setting the script global, not when unsetting it.

Only linking the stylesheet when the script global is being set.
