What I mean by mis-rendered: - images with borders - thumbnails missing. Compare to Safari 4 for a working equivalent. Tested with Windows XP. Reproducible: Always
Invalid - page uses h.264 encoded avi. This would require Firefox to buy rights to use h.264 which would not be transferable to projects that are built off of Firefox. The Firefox developers have chosen to use an open codec, Theora. For a demo see http://openvideo.dailymotion.com/
