I simply hear audio but there is no video playback beyond the initial poster frame.

The video plays for me on Samsung Galaxy S1, just really really badly (like 1/10 fps). It's a YouTube video, so presumably the native browser gets served H.264 so it can use the H.264 hardware decoder on the phone. Firefox will be served WebM, which isn't currently hardware accelerated, and the software scaling will be killing performance.
