Comment:

 Marking this as `needs_review` while following down the rabbit hole a bit
 deeper... `bug_29859_v2` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug_29859_v2&id=901be94320127688e061f83ae963e115c8616aed)
 has a patch that is working for me in the sense that the browser is not
 getting unresponsive AND the video (and others) as still playing.
