What version of Firefox? Would you please test the Android Nightly, https://nightly.mozilla.org

On Firefox 24 we blocked Sony Xperia devices on Jellybean due to video playback crashes (see bug 845734). Please confirm that Nightly (http://nightly.mozilla.org) or Aurora (http://aurora.mozilla.org) for Android is working for you in this regard where we have resolved the situation.

Nightly works in both test-cases with the Sony Xperia Go (ST27i). Thanks.
