Dear Maintainer,

After a recent upgrade I noticed that playing YouTube video causes firefox to act in a strange manner.  It seems that the browser is hung.  You cannot pause the video, resize it (full screen, theatre, normal mode, etc).  If you kill it by closing the YouTube tab, it still keeps receiving audio for a few seconds before its completely dead.

I ran another apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade to see if any of the other supported packages needed to be updated but its still the same, last update run around 23:00 hrs, PST.

Hoping its a simple fix, but considering there are over 700 bugs for firefox, I am not sure it will be fixed soon.

Before this update I had no such issues.

thanks
