Steps to reproduce:

Attempted to view the movie on
http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/cleveland-house-described-as-home-of-horrors/-/1719418/20054424/-/wve8gh/-/index.html


Actual results:

Noticed it seemed to conk-out every few seconds.
Right clicked to see what was wrong.
Noticed TWO video players, Adobe and another one, where both reporting their version numbers! So I disabled Adobe and refreshed... now I was downloading an .mp4 file.


Expected results:

Been able to see the movie normally.

It works normally in Firefox 23 because Firefox is able to read natively mp4 without Flash plugin enabled. There are 2 players on this website, Flash and HTML5.

WFM using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 ID:20130528181031 CSet: 51c78e9573f4 + Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20130601 Firefox/24.0 ID:20130601030938 CSet: b7344a8ee6f2.

If Flash is enabled (and thus recognized as available by the Site) the Flash Version is used properly.

If Flash is disabled the HTML5 Version is used properly.

Maybe a OS specific Issue?
