For me with FF 30 on OSX it works as expected as you can see in the attached screen shot.
Which Firefox version was used in the original tests?

The tested it on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 Bit) with FF 29.0.1 and aleth confirmed it on OSX with FF 31.

Did some more testing on this:

It turns out that with empty profile this is indeed broken on all version from 29.0.1 to 32 for me.
But if I use my standard user profile (with certain add-ons etc) it works fine for me.

The example is there now: http://mdn-samples.mozilla.org/s/webrtc-capturestill/ (linked from the page) and is working.
