When I play this movie (link below) on my Nexus 5 installed with Marshmallow using Firefox, the whole phone crashes. I tried to do a system cache wipe and also to reïnstall Firefox but that didn't help.

I asked a coworker to test it as well and at first it didn't crash, but then he installed the Ghostery plugin and then it did crash.

Same problem with Nexus 5X. After further testing we concluded the Ghostery plugin is unrelated to the issue.

Yes we know about this issue. Hopefully we will have a build with a fix in the Play Store by the end of the week. There is a build with a fix for this at the moment you can find it at https://nightly.mozilla.org you want the honeycomb and newer apk.
