Playing an inline video makes Firefox very choppy. The video itself plays at a very low framerate, but Firefox itself becomes very slow and unresponsive
Tested device was the Nexus 7, and it looks like with no plugin support they are serving HTML5 video. The frame-rate was pretty bad.

Tested on Nightly 2012-08-27 using the Acer Iconia Tab A500 running Android 3.2. Tested using the URL from the bug with the plugin option set to off in order to receive the HTML5 videos. The videos continue to play very choppy and hangs a lot. I am not seeing more then 2-3 seconds of continues play before the video freezes.

The bug looks fixed on a Nexus 7
The video plays smoothly and scrolling is almost buttery smooth. The Nexus 7 is running Jelly Bean 4.1.1
