 We got a report on our blog that Tor Browser for Android is not playing
 videos on Twitter and is stopping (I assume it is meant
 freezing/crashing). See:
 https://blog.torproject.org/comment/280334#comment-280334.

 I reproduced that by playing the video on
 https://twitter.com/thezdi/status/1108828979425738753, both with 8.5a8 and
 8.5a9.

 Marking at least the investigation as blocking TB 8.5.
