Nexus 5 on Marshmallow 6.0 crashes when watching movies in Firefox.
After the upgrade to 6.0 Marshmallow, Firefox let's my nexus 5 crash when watching a movie. Seen this on various sites. It starts to stutter then freezes next the phone reboots. Before on Lollipop it was fine. In chrome there are no problems on the same site.

No crash reports present, as Firefox lets the phone rebooting there is no message or report. There are other report on the net witch are exactly the same as mine. Nexus phones on marshmallow rebooting while watching a movie on Firefox.
No log file present as the phone reboots. I am not the only one with this problem. It has been reported also with the Nexus 5x.
I switched to chrome which doesn't has this issue.
