Details
iPython notebook is an interactive online environment for exploratory programming. To replicate the issue, a local iPython notebook server needs to be installed and the notebook at the following URL loaded with it: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/master/docs/examples/notebooks/00_notebook_tour.ipynb In the "video" section, the second example does not work with Firefox, but does with Chrome. from IPython.display import HTML video = open("animation.m4v", "rb").read() video_encoded = video.encode("base64") video_tag = '<video controls alt="test" src="data:video/x-m4v;base64,{0}">'.format(video_encoded) HTML(data=video_tag) Basically, the server serves up generated video as in-line content base64-encoded directly in the "src" attribute of the video tag, and Firefox does not know how to deal with it: <video controls alt="test" src="data:video/x-m4v;base64,BASE64_ENCODED_VIDEO_CONTENT_HERE"> Problem reproduces on release Firefox and later.

Firefox doesn't support mp4 video. You need to offer a webm or theora encoding as well if you want universal playback on html5 browsers.
