Firefox 11 has a bug where 3D stereoscopic videos do not work with NVIDIA's 3D Vision technology and 3D displays. Instead, you may see a 2D version of the video. This affects the videos at http://www.3dvisionlive.com/ and 3D videos on YouTube when viewed with a 3D set-up.

This bug will be fixed in Firefox 12 which will be released around April 24th. In the meantime, you can use Firefox Aurora now or Firefox Beta after March 23rd. These pre-release versions of Firefox will be able to display 3D videos properly.
