Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1813311
  2. Click on a attachement Video - Wheel click delay.mp4 in the bug

Actual results:
Video controls and progress bar only displayed

Expected results:

  • Video image should playbak
    or
  • Download the video like Chrome and Edge.

I think that this is intentional behavior as per 1426894, as ffprobe reports the video as being mpeg4 (Simple Profile) and mediainfo reports Format settings, Matrix: Default (H.263). NI'ing padenot to confirm.

Severity: -- → S4

Priority: -- → P4

We're able to play the audio, but not the video (as noted, it's h263, which isn't supported by any web browser I think).

We've chosen, so far, for this to work, but we could also refuse to play it and offer it to download. It's just a matter of policy.
