Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Great that you closed it as `user disappeared`, meaning that you couldn't
 fix it. But it's a weird reason to close confirmed bugs anyway.
 What the steps do you need when you have the source code? Memory limit
 means that you get the error with your patch, opening no more than 4 media
 instances on a 1 GB VM. The error instead of no cache, because
 > I also have no idea what cypherpunks meant by that comment. The original
 Mozilla code also returns nullptr on **failure**, so we're not changing
 any logic in that regard. It's even documented in the function comment:

 esr60/file/256453759958ed9c2eb17a0764d2fcfd7f8e3323/dom/media/MediaCache.cpp#l152
 nullptr if **initialization** failed
