FF is supposed to ignore DEFLATION if is media file ( https://bugzil.la/614760 ).

Hi Rany,

I have tested the issue on the latest Firefox release (49.0.2, Build ID 20161019084923) and on the latest Nightly (52.0a1, Build ID 20161102030205) with the testcase from Bug 614760 and the video does not play at all (Video format or MIME type is not supported.)

Could you please provide a testcase or URL to a page where the issue can be easily reproduced?

Hi cmuresan,
I contacted the server admin and he disabled DEFLATION. Sorry :/

Based on your last comment (comment 4), is it OK to assume that the issue is no longer reproducible? If so, we should close it as invalid/worksforme.

I'll try reproducing this on my server... maybe I'll be able to reproduce the results :)
