851878 - With click-to-play, Vimeo assumes you can't watch videos

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P3)

Description

[AJ Jordan [:strugee] (he/they)]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:22.0) Gecko/20130316 Firefox/22.0
Build ID: 20130316160554

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable Click-to-Play
2. Visit any Vimeo video


Actual results:

Because Flash doesn't load right away, Vimeo assumes you don't have it. Since Firefox doesn't do H.264, <video> doesn't work either. Therefore, Vimeo gives you an error message, and you're never offered the chance to enable Flash.


Expected results:

The click-to-play overlay should have shown.

I think this happens on more than Vimeo, e.g. lmgtfy.com, but I haven't done extensive testing.

This is almost certainly an evangelization issue, but before I go to vimeo can I get somebody to analyze what they're doing?

If they are using a common library with other sites, then we might be able to fix a bunch of sites all at once. Otherwise, I probably only want bugs on topsites that really matter.

Vimeo works fine for me on 19 and Nightly - do you have any example URL?

Actually, I think I was messing around with Shumway and disabled Flash. Apologies for the bugspam.
