  3) What is expected to happen in Firefox is when one visits the
  website:

  http://media.thrashermagazine.com/FiringLine_PatPasquale.mp4

  mozilla-plugin-vlc plays the video with no problem.

  4) What happens instead is Firefox crashes, with a prompt to report this to Mozilla instead of an apport to Launchpad. The about:crashes link may be found at:
  https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/c6f47bc4-e936-469d-bcf2-b13352110713

  WORKAROUND: Open in VLC via the Terminal:

  wget http://media.thrashermagazine.com/FiringLine_PatPasquale.mp4 &&
  vlc FiringLine_PatPasquale.mp4

  the video plays correctly.
