Steps to reproduce:

played the embedded YouTube html5 video http://androidandme.com/2012/03/news/a-closer-look-at-samsungs-killer-2-ghz-exynos-5250/


Actual results:

while the video was still loading (buffering), it would only play about 2 seconds at a time and then freeze for 3 seconds and then repeat this until the video was fully buffered. when fully buffered, it played perfectly.

(separate issue: also was missing full screen capability)


Expected results:

it should have played smoothly even while buffering

It works fine for me with Nexus Phone 4.1 and Galaxy Tab 4.0.4. It takes the first 2 seconds buffering but no problem. It might be due to the internet connection.

No, I was on Wifi and the video buffered and played perfectly on a desktop computer on the same wifi connection. The inability to play well while buffering occurs for me on all Android devices (Nexus S, Nexus 7, Galacy Tabe 10.1) when using Firefox and watching HTML5 video.

Are you able to reproduce this in Aurora or Nightly?
