HTML5 videos crashes Firefox

[Patrick Powell]

My setup is a little different.  I have a Dell M6800 with NVIDEA:

vgapci0: <VGA-compatible display> port 0xe000-0xe07f mem 
0xf4000000-0xf4ffffff,0xe0000000-0xefffffff,0xf0000000-0xf1ffffff irq 16 
at device 0.0 on pci1
nvidia0: <Quadro K3100M> on vgapci0
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io
vgapci0: Boot video device

 From /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

When I run firefox and try to view a video from youtube I get:
laptop_93: {10} % firefox |&tee /tmp/f
Bus error (core dumped)

I updated to the latest pkg versions of firefox.

Side Note:   I set up a couple of VirtualBox VMs, one for 10.3 RC3 and 
one for 9.3.  Just out of
curiousity I ran firefox on them and I was able to view the videos.  I 
am wondering if the
issue is related to the NVIDIA driver on my laptop.   I wonder if the 
issue is related to the NVIDIA
driver/GPU support.
