Hi, im on OSX 10.12.6 using FF57.0.2:

The Issue is that I cant play videos created with Quicktime. [the videos are embedded using a html5 video tag

In firefox I only get a grey 'codec not supported screen. Mind Safari and Chrome both play the file [same machine, same video]

I cant provide a link to the website but I made a demo movie file that has the same issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w4lynoon0je0g74/iOS%20Simulator%20Recording%20%282%29.mov?dl=0

note that it works for dropbox as well as some other services as they re-encode the movie on their side
