Sctatch that - look at http://people.mozilla.org/~ajones/blank-video/ and tell if if you see two white/green/blue/red squares with the top one at a 45 degree angle.
I see only one square. I don't see the top one.

This is a driver bug to the best path forward is to update the driver. Alternatively you can disable acceleration from about:preferences#advanced by unchecking "Use hardware acceleration when available" but this will make things go slower. We are working on a mechanism to automatically detect this kind of bug.

Unfortunately there's no driver update available for this graphics card. The latest version is the one I'm using: 15.17.19.64.2869 (8.15.10.2869).

    
    

    
  
I can see the top square at http://people.mozilla.org/~ajones/blank-video/ when disabling hardware acceleration, but I still can't see the video at http://www.playboy.com/videos/handjob-karaoke-japan (but I can see it on another computer with Linux).

(Note that I have to manually disable HW acceleration, probably because the fix hasn't been released yet?)

    
    

    
  
I can still reproduce this issue.

Strange. Can you paste the commit URL from the Source section of about:buildconfig ?

https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-aurora/rev/44698a75f0a6 (it's newer than https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-aurora/rev/536e415933af).

    
    

    
  
I've just tested it on Nightly, and I can't see the video on Nightly as well.
about:support on Nightly says:
> Supports Hardware H264 Decoding	false

Do you still get the same thing from http://people.mozilla.org/~ajones/blank-video/ ?

You answered that in c17. Do you get audio on the embed? Can you see the video on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S47M8eX_eFc ?

I can hear audio on http://www.playboy.com/videos/handjob-karaoke-japan.

> Can you see the video on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S47M8eX_eFc ?

No, but I can hear the audio here as well.

To make it clearer, I can see the top square only if I entirely disable hardware acceleration from about:config. I can't see it normally, even if my driver is blacklisted for hardware video decoding.

We've put it down to being an issue with upload on this video card. The plan is to reproduce the test you're doing using js in bug 1156135.

    
    

    
  
Does bug 1153123 fix this?

While I'm tracking this for 39, it's marked fixed for 39. So I only came across it by chance. 
Is this problem still showing up?

I'm going to mark this as fixed. Re-open if there it is still an issue.

It's fixed in Firefox 41.
I can see the two squares on http://people.mozilla.org/~ajones/blank-video/.
The video on http://www.playboy.com/videos/handjob-karaoke-japan is using flash now, so I can't test it.

The flags probably need to be updated to reflect that this is broken on Firefox 39 (and probably Firefox 40).
