Steps to reproduce: Visit http://www.gamespot.com/videos/see-our-most-anticipated-games-of-2015/2300-6422867/ in Firefox 34. View the video in HD quality. It will play fine at first, then use the button in the lower right to enter fullscreen mode.
Actual results: In fullscreen mode, the video plays very choppy, at a very low framerate. Exiting fullscreen doesn't fix this either, the video continues to play very choppy.
Expected results: After entering fullscreen mode, the video should continue to play smoothly.
I have found a workaround for this problem. After entering fullscreen mode, click once with the mouse on the black bar at the bottom of the screen (not on a button on this bar, but on empty space on the bar). After you have clicked on the bar, the video will instantly go from very choppy playback to smooth playback.
