Firefox crashes when attempting to play any video on Yahoo! website, example

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-internet-famous-tonga-flag-bearer-is-switching-olympic-sports-151443948.html

No issue playing HTML5 videos on Youtube. Note that I do not currently have the Flash player installed, and a Firefox reset did not eliminate the issue. Firefox ESR 45.6.0.

Update - based on some other recent bug reports here, I disabled my Kaspersky Total Security and Yahoo! videos like the one above no longer crash. So this is some interaction between Firefox ESR, Kaspersky, and these videos.

That was very good work. Well done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.

Contact Kaspersky and ask about this.
