Description
When running the 360° video example (https://aframe.io/examples/showcase/videosphere/) I noticed the video stopped working when I resized my window to a larger resolution. I checked it with a colleague, he has a faster machine and ran into the same issue (but with a higher resolution).
It's not dropping frames, the video just stops. I've then tested with a video of my own, the audio keeps running, but the video does not render anymore.
My specs:
Mac OS: 10.13.5
iMac: 3,3 GHz Intel Core i7
FireFox: 60.0.2 (64-bits)
Window size working just fine: 940x640
Example of a window size causing issues: 1160x640
The same size windows and larger work fine without issues on Safari and Chrome.
Can anybody reproduce this?
Is it a bug... or a feature? :)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the videosphere example at https://aframe.io/examples/showcase/videosphere/ on macOS Firefox 60.0.2, comparing the working 940x640 window with the failing 1160x640 size. Check whether video rendering stops while audio continues, and compare the same sizes in Safari and Chrome; done means identifying a reproducible cause or confirming the Firefox-specific failure.
