This crash started in buildid 20200312093312, seems to happen only on Debian with mesa versions ranging from 19.2.8.0 to 19.3.5.0 on Intel graphics adapters.

That being said theis happening in Firefox code here. It seems like mCodecContext is NULL.

should be av_freep(&mCodecContext) sorry I missed that in the review.

Adds another level of &ing as expected by av_freep.

My understanding is this is turned off. We also don't have any crashes for this on 75.
