Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Fennec/14.0a1 2012-04-11
Device: Motorola Droid 2 (Android 2.3)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to http://goo.gl/CwaoF.
2. Zoom in and start the video. Pause it after a few seconds.
3. Repeat step 2 until the hole tab stops responding to taps.
4. Tap in the URL bar and navigate to any other website.

Expected results:
The tab does not become unresponsive and navigating to a different website does not create any issues.

Actual results:
The tab becomes unresponsive to taps, zooms or pans and when loading anything else in the tab a black screen is displayed until the browser/tab is closed and reopened.

Notes:
This happened about once in 2 to 3 pauses of the video.
I was also able to reproduce the issue on HTC Desire Z(Android 2.3) but it took a lot more tries - more then 7 or 8.
