Seen while running Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b2) Gecko/20100720 Firefox/4.0b2 STR: 1. Enter the youtube beta by visiting http://www.youtube.com/html5 2. Try to switch the video in the URL to 1080 3. I am only offered 720. If I play the video using Google I am offered 1080 for the same video. Expected: I would be offered the same resolutions as Chrome
Need to figure out whether this is our bug or a site bug...

They may disable 1080p playback for browsers that can't play it back smoothly. I doubt FF 3.6 can do 1080p comfortably.
WebM is only offered in 360p and 720p right now. The 1080p video is H.264. Note in Chrome if you switch from 360/720p to 1080p, the "WebM" icon disappears from YouTube's control UI.
