I get the same result as well but in IE11 it works. Could be a bug you need to probably file a report to Mozilla to look into it.

This morning 12/6/17 the video was working again using firefox - and my build id /version has not changed in firefox ...so there may be something intermittent about the video which firefox is incompatible with. I will wait for another failure before submitting a bug/fix request.
