It seems that this is the site issue. Because UA spoofing helps.

user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0.1");

Related to bug 659634 perhaps?

We are tracking this for Fx9...do we still need to? Is there work to be done here or can we ship as-is?

QA, can we see if this still happens?

A couple of things...

1) Tested and reproducible with Firefox 9.0b6 on Win XP and Nightly 2011-12-14 on Mac OS X 10.6.8

2) The player is Flash, it is not an embedded WMP video (as the original reporter assumes)

3) The link code is different in Chrome compared to Firefox...
Firefox: http://music.yahoo.com/burning-spear/videos/view/great-men--2164757;_ylt=AufrY67Pt8YymkChZhBy79jHxCUv#
Chrome: http://music.yahoo.com/videos/BurningSpear/Burning-Reggae--2139897#

So, my reading of comment 0 says that this has happened as far back as 6.0? If so we don't care specifically for Fx9.

Comment 2 actually points this as far back as Firefox 6.0a1 Nightly...and user agent spoofing does work around the issue, so I'm inclined to say TE.

Sending over to TE and CC'ing Jean-Yves.

The service now redirects to https://music.yahoo.com/videos/

The corresponding feature explained in that bug seems to be the clock icon which triggers a pop up saying
"Sign-in to add this video to Watch Later."

Works for me.
