Mp4/h.264 videos(All websites) do not play properly on the LG G2 with KitKat 4.4.1 or 4.4.1. I have tried both the regular Firefox (32.0.3) and Beta(33.0), both seem to be having the issue. Playback works fine using mobile Chrome. Please also note, I am not using Flash player, these are standard html5 videos.

Here is an example: http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html Screenshot of video(on device): http://postimg.org/image/enohww7nj/

WebM and Ogg/Theora play fine.

this sounds like an LG specific issue. those videos work fine in Firefox for Android 32 on my Samsung Galaxy S5 and Nexus 5.

I will try and get developer attention onthis.

Any updates on this?

It will likely continue to be an issue until we finish a large change in the way we do h264 video decoding on Firefox for Android.
