1097572 - embedded video won't play in Firefox 33 on Ubuntu (?)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Air Mozilla :: Content, defect)

Description

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

This hackernews comment mentions that the air mozilla video embedded in http://wemo.io/mozilla-virtual-reality-and-the-dawn-of-the-metaverse-511 isn't working on Firefox 33 on Ubuntu.

The comment says:
type error at line 1790 of "vjs.js"

Looks like this is embedded directly from vid.ly so could be them and not air.m.o that's the problem? Maybe we could try to repro at least.

Worked fine for me in a clean profile using the Ubuntu Firefox 33, 64 bit. 
Also was fine in a Firefox Nightly, same machine.
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

(sorry, keep accidentally using the "user story" box due to it being new and order in w3m)

He notes he is using Flashblock and Ghostery.  Appears to not have tested in a clean profile.

Thanks for looking into this!

This comment makes it pretty clear that this user does not want to provide further info ("Sorry, you can't expect end users to debug your product. That's your job."), since we can't repro I am going to resolve this.
