Problems loading most youtube pages.

Post by BananasGoMoo »

I have been having this problem on and off for the last few days. Some builds (Including today's- February 4th, 2017-) cause almost any page on youtube to crash all of firefox. Not sure the cause of it but some builds fix it and then it breaks again a day or two later. Has been happening off an on for about the last two weeks or so. To be clear, this is nightly 54.0a1

EDIT: if e10s is enabled, the tab will crash instead of all of firefox.

Are you using YouTube's experimental (material design) UI? It crashes for me too.
The offending bug, bug 1313864, was backed out by bug 1334904 last week. It re-landed few days ago.

Now the crash is being tracked in bug 1336229, according to bug 1336762.

The bug is now tracked in bug 1315232 since bug 1336229 didn't fix it.

I posted some info on the bug tracker, including how to enter yourself into the beta for youtube, so you guys can more easily figure out what's going on, hopefully.
