Hello,

Within 30 minutes usually of watching a video on Hulu. Hulu will stop playing, only emit sound for a few moments and then Firefox is frozen and will not close. windows is also becomes unusable without a hard shutdown.

There's no crash report generated in this scenario.

Safe mode still causes the issue.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello. I have since noticed that this happens as well on Chrome.

Running Firefox on the latest Ubuntu Linux does not have this issue.

Hence, I no longer think that this is necessarily a Firefox issue.

Additional note. THIS I A PROBLEM ON WINDOWS 10 DESKTOP. This is not an android issue. I do not know why the bug was submitted as such. I apologize if it was my mistake. I thought I had submitted it as a Desktop browser bug, but I submitted it using my phone.
