The videos provided by Yahoo! JAPAN don't play in browsers running on Fenix or Linux browsers.

There is a support matrix which forbids Firefox.

When switching the UA to chrome the video is playing without issues.

We need to either modify the support matrix. or change the user agent for the player URI

I didn't realize that our intervention doesn't cover Linux, and didn't have an automated test. I'll have a patch together to address this soon.
