User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140218135856 Steps to reproduce: tried to play an anamorphic video with firefox. eg: common usecase for PAL Widescreen Videos with 720x576 Pixel with an Aspect Ratio of 16:9 Actual results: the video is shown in 4:3 Resolution in Firefox ( Ubuntu 13.10 ) where it should be 16:9 playing the video with ffplay, vlc and even gstreamer ( isn't that used by FF?) plays it correctly with 16:9 Expected results: the video should be 16:9 Display Aspect Ratio of the video indicates that. with WEBM videos the Resolution is calculated correctly! the annoying thing is that now even if there is WebM file included in the videotag, Firefox plays the Mp4 File first.
Stef, could you please post an example of a video that reproduces this issue?

you can download an anamorph video from this link: http://dorfdev.neuf.at/system/files/webvideos/x264_low/8400.mp4 you will notice that in chromium or desktop players the aspect ratio is 16:9 and in firefox it it is clinched to 4:3. the WEBM derivate of the Video just plays fine everywhere. http://dorfdev.neuf.at/system/files/webvideos/webm_low/8400.webm i have changed the order of the video files in the video tag to WEBM first, now firefox plays the webm version default.
tried with a clean profile and in safe mode. same behaviour in FF 27.1 but i've tried now with firefox-trunk from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa and it seems the issue is fixed there. sry for the noise. closing this issue.
