Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
If I try to play a ogg theora video in Firefox 3.5.3 it usually (9 times out of 10) pauses due to buffering but never properly resumes playing...even if the video finishes downloading. Hitting the pause/play button or seeking to another position has no effect. I have tried multiple videos from different sites around the web all with the same issue. I am using Karmic now but had the same problem in Jaunty. I tried to reproduce this bug in windows (firefox 3.5) but video playback worked flawlessly. I also tried chromium which had no issue with buffering, pausing, or seeking to a different spot in the video.

This appears to be linux-specific. Can't reproduce on Win 7.
Run a 3.6 nightly and loading the URL above it will start playing when the page loads, but if you pause and restart it a few times it will eventually stop playing once you unpause. Sometimes it's one click, sometimes it's three.
Running this on Fedora 11. Will check for a regression from 3.5.
