 > This sucks as expected. But the case that you can't explain to mozilla
 what the bug is, and they wontfixed you, is more hilarious. :)
 > When the cache dies, if you smart enough, you can get:
 > {{{
 > All candidate resources failed to load. Media load paused.
 > TypeError: this.video.error is null videocontrols.xml:1277:1
 > NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE:   videocontrols.xml:391
 > }}}

 How can we reproduce that?
