875483 - YouTube HTML5 Playback hangs Firefox

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Žilvinas]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:24.0) Gecko/20130523 Firefox/24.0 (Nightly/Aurora)
Build ID: 20130523030935

Steps to reproduce:

I went to youtube.com or any other website that has YouTube Video embedded (with HTML5 Playback).


Actual results:

At the start of the video, Firefox just hangs. Activity Monitor reports 100+% CPU usage on Nightly process. I can't do anything about it. Unless I kill process manually. Waiting couple of minutes, I can hear sound with Firefox still unresponsive. Moreover, when it comes back for a second I see Firefox GUI glitches, like tabs with no titles. It works on other websites with HTML5 playback though.


Expected results:

It should have played VIDEO as it usually does.

If I was to guess, probably was asking if you could land this on b2g18 and 1.01 branches.
