When I use you tube of mobile version on my laptop(windows7 ultimate) and when I click to start the video of mobile version it shows following error on monitor------>

{{The address wasn't understood

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (vnd.youtube) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.

   You might need to install other software to open this address.}}

You would need a mobile device to have support for this protocol. Maybe the Firefox OS simulator will work.
