I'm really surprised to see that switching to UXA really helped you because
that exact test was the very first I did when the bug first appeared and it
didn't work at all. Actually, I didn't even have to visit the Web Store in
order to produce it. I just attempted to watch a random video on Youtube and
the screen went black at once. I didn't even need a second test. :)</pre>
