User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120423122928

Steps to reproduce:

Visited http://html5demos.com/video and the video won't load. If I access the video directly, it works, but not through that web page. All of the other video demos on the site don't work, so maybe a site problem?

This is a problem in FF12 (Stable) in Windows and Linux as well as FF15(UX) for both Windows and Linux.


Actual results:

Fails to load the video


Expected results:

Load and play the video
Should also mention that the YouTube HTML5 videos DO work. Thought that might be helpful.

Bug 676422 describes the similar symptoms on Fennec.
It's the MIME type. Needs to be video/ogg even though the video is of type .ogv.

Should this really be happening?
Copied the code from the site and put it into a local HTML file and it works fine, could be something wrong with the server?
2013-08-25-03-02-01-mozilla-central-firefox-26.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64 plays the .ogv file http://html5demos.com/assets/dizzy.ogv

As in comment 2, Browser Console says:

Firefox doesn't play http://html5demos.com/assets/dizzy.webm directly, but asks about downloading it.  The downloaded file does play.
Summary: Video does not show at http://html5demos.com/video → Video http://html5demos.com/assets/dizzy.webm does not show (it's linked from http://html5demos.com/video ): Content-Type is text/plain
I guess this is utterly un-important by now, but Remy's webm file is still sent as text/plain..
