User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0 Steps to reproduce: I opened https://media.ccc.de/v/35c3-9999-the_enemy Actual results: The video has the mime-type text/html; charset=utf-8 instead of video/mp4 Expected results: Firefox shouldn't play it, so that server owners notice this misconfiguration. Reasons why Mime-Types shouldn't be ignored by browsers: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Securing_your_site/Configuring_server_MIME_types I noticed this because my TV doesn't play the video (my guess is that the TV's browser respects the MIME-Type and doesn't investigate this further)

Hmm I am not sure if we want to make something working, not working. Chrome also plays the video which makes it even more difficult to change the behavior.

jya, do you have opinion on this?
