Comment (by bugzilla):

 Oops, it did it again.
 The main suspects are:
 1. js on page that doesn't like NoScript.
 2. When FF finishes download embedded video, it does a lot of work and
 memory consumption. As Tor Browser disabled media.cache, it broke some
 functionality and, that even worse, FF might not be well tested with such
 settings...
