Video now plays, but they have some very odd JS running only for moz that adds target="_blank" attributes to javascript: links by mistake. We end up with

<div class="compartir_video"><a tabindex="19" target="_blank" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:window.open('http://eskup.elpais.com/todos.html?m=+'+tit+'+-+'+encodeURIComponent(_url_vid_1377759688));" title="Enviar vídeo a Eskup">Enviar vídeo</a></div>

and

	<a tabindex="20" target="_blank" class="posicionador" id="posicionador_1377758184_726257_1377857041" title="Ver vídeo" href="javascript:void(0)">
		<span class="boton_video"></span>

This issue is reported as bug 911150. The video does play for me in FirefoxOS 1.1, closing as WFM - could someone verify?

After the blank tab opens and I go back to videos.html, I see a message "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt."

Not sure if it's a temporary glitch or what.

(does the device play H.264 demo on http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html ?)

(Hmm... it doesn't. "No video with supported format and MIME type found." That sounds wrong.)
