Basically, it's the question that I have asked here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47471982/html5-video-loads-slowly-on-firefox-but-its-pretty-fast-on-chrome For some strange reason, when playing the video from start, FireFox's <video> tag repeatedly asks for the same range of the video multiple times; it asks for 'range: bytes=3276800-' 8 times, then asks for 'bytes=5668864-' four times and so on; as a result, the video takes a really long time before it starts to play. Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this weird behavior?

Good question. Will give the articles (at bottom) but since have taken that apart it might be best to file a bug report. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ Bug Writing Guidelines : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh) and test. Is the problem still there?
