Multimedia playback stops at 25:22

more options

When i watch youtube videos (in html5 mode) or listen mp3's, the seek bar stops at 25:22. The video then freezes, but the audio stream keeps going. Mp3's continue to play, but the seek bar freezes. Also, caching of the media file stops.

Seeking backward a second with the seek bar fixes the playback for next 25 minutes and 22 seconds.

I'm using the latest stable firefox (49.0.1) on windows XP SP3 32-bit.

In flash player mode everything works just fine. The problems start to occur when y try to feed firefox with mp3 files longer than 25 munutes, or when watching video in native html5 mode.
