Bug 1360626 comment 39 reported that the S4 L720 (sprints version) also had video corruption issue.

We haven't block this model of S4 device.
Hi kickstand03,

Is it ok for you to provide the log from 'adb logcat'?

I need to ensure whether the model Id is 'SPH-L720' or not.

You can search keyword "The device ModelID is" and paste the full sentence for me.

Thank you.

Hi kickstand03,


If you cannot get the 'adb logcat', please install apk from [1] and play a youtube video.

This apk will show up a notification like [2].

Please screen shot or tell me the string you saw.

Thanks.

Add Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 model into blacklist for disabling adaptive playback feature. r=jolin
You're welcome, and thanks for the help. 
Do I just wait for the next update or does it automatically fix itself? Do I need to do anything else?

I think this patch can fix your issue but I'm sorry I don't have this device to verify.

If you can install

https://queue.taskcluster.net/v1/task/RkjSiMRUS5yTCpFiKsMZGw/runs/0/artifacts/public/build/target.apk

This apk has the fix and hope the video can play well on your device.

If it can solve your problem, I've requested uplifting this fix to beta and release channel of firefox.

You don't need to do anything just wait for the app update :)

Thank you.

Glad to hear that it works :)

and thank you for reporting this issue or I have no chance to fix it.
Could not verify this issue on the latest RC (55.0.2)due to the fact that in our studio we don't have the device required.
By any chance, Kickstand03, could you please try and verify this issue on 55.0.2?

Thanks in advance!
