User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0 Build ID: 20170220073251 Steps to reproduce: Looking at deploying brotli instead of using gzip for static content via (nginx), and discovered that Firefox doesnt allow Brotli on http content. Chrome had no issues with the .br content via http. Parity with Chrome Actual results: Firefox: Content encoding error Chrome: Page worked fine Expected results: Just remove the limitation for brotli on http, the compression is a nice improvement over gzip.

it also sounds like your content negotiation is broken - chrome, iirc, does not advertise brotli on http:// schemes.
