[Bug 1364151] [NEW] FireFox and Chromium fail to render video

[ubuntu98632]

Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn (development branch)
Release:	14.10
FireFox 31.0

Realsiing that this is in beta mode I wish to convey that Fire fo is unable to render any video format on weather. com
http://www.weather.com/video/us-has-never-seen-an-attack-like-this-53119

How ever it can and does run video on youtube.

the only workable file format appears to be MP4.
on the Weather Channel.
This leaves uses un able to get weather reports, view news articals, and the like.

How ever firfox does work on other sites like Youtube, KATU.com ( a news site)
And I can upload video content on:
http://www.katu.com/younews?form=post

Chromium Web Browser
is also effected
