Comment:

 Regarding this ticket: Playing HTML 5 videos works fine with a default Tor
 Browser 5.x. As soon as I raise the security level I don't seem to be able
 to make exceptions to the NoScript click-to-play. The browser console
 shows:
 {{{
 NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE: Component returned failure code: 0x80040111
 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIMIMEService.getTypeFromURI] in
 jar:file:///home/thomas/Arbeit/Tor/TBB/tor-browser-bundle/tor-browser_en-
 US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/extensions/torbutton at torproject.org.xpi!/components
 /external-app-blocker.js line 131 > eval
 }}}

 Overhauling the FAQ is a different ticket.
