Have not been around in a while and found myself straddled with the V36 - great to see the x64-bit flavor of Firefox being released in beta form (the same . . . . . . . . . . . languishing in nightly form, for donkeys years.)

Bug 1131638 - Record invalid frames as dropped for video playback stats.

Bug 1131638 - Discard video frames that fail to sync.

Bug 1131884 - Video buffering calculation fails for some MP4 videos:

(Playback position used in calculating buffering time is set

during metadata reading. This is at end of file for the
