Mozilla/5.0 (Maemo;Linux armv71; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101025 Firefox/4.0b8pre Fennec/4.0b2pre

1. click on the second video link from http://people.mozilla.com/~nhirata/html_tp/iPhoneLinks.html
(note: it's formatted <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_IDENTIFIER">Play Video</a> )

Expected: goes to Youtube video
Actual: it tries to download the video in the default web browser and may crash Fennec without crash reporter triggered

Note:

nhirata, could you get a stack trace or post a http://crash-stats.mozilla.com link?

Mozilla/5.0 (Maemo;Linux armv71; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101102 Firefox/4.0b8pre Fennec/4.0b3pre
Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Linux armv71; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko20101101 Firefox/4.0b8pre Fennec/4.0b2

The crashing doesn't seem to be occuring any more on Android and Maemo.
Lowering the priority to normal.

They both still try to download the video in the default browser.

I think I understand what is going on.  The second url sends back this:

So, it is basically a little flash app that shows a screenshot, and kicks off the native application passing the real video to the native player.

So, i don't think this will work at all until we support Flash.  Bumping priority out.
