I'm on Tor Browser 6.0.5 64-bit on Linux.
Security Slider is on high settings, and all additional privacy options
are enabled.
Description
===========
When i click on .webm video, it opens in new tab, and starts play despite
these settings.
After 2 seconds, video gets covered by noscript banner and symbol. audio
keeps running.
After click on noscript banner and confirm in dialog, webm video starts
again but now for whole time.
Comment
=======
This is completely ridiculous.
Video MUST not play before confirm.
It should not even be remotely possible this happens.
Or, if the descision is, to allow webm even in high security settings,
it is dumb to have user click on confirm after video start.
PLEASE investigate how this happened!!
