Other Source recordings not working in Firefox > 98.0.2
Issue:
when trying to capture a video stream in Firefox any tab loaded will crash with the "Gah. Your tab just crashed" message.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Using any FF version > 98.0.2 change the recording method to Firefox
2. Click Other Source/Screen Recording -> High quality direct -> Record one video
3. Try to load any web address
Text will load very briefly before crashing. It will crash on any site, just just ones with video as long as the record dialog is open. Closing the Audials recording dialog (but not the running version of FF) will allow all pages to be loaded normally.
Fix/work around:
This was working fine until the 18th of April 2022. I didn't check my version number before the crash, but FF autoupdate was on so I would assume I was running at least 99.0.0 or 99.0.1 (released 12 April).
I rolled back FF versions until recording started working again and the last working version is 98.0.2.
Request:
It doesn't appear that there was an Audials update or FF update between when it was working and not. How can I improve this ticket so that it can be fixed? I don't like running old browser versions.
