Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130917161118 Steps to reproduce: Go to globoesporte.com and watch some video (top right corner). Actual results: The entire system hangs. The linux kworker thread occupies the hole processor. I have to change to terminal mode and kill firefox process, but It takes a lot (more than 2 minutes) until the system respond and actually changes to console mode. Expected results: It should have played the video.
It doesn't happens all the times, but it happens frequently.
