| Tested in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) | |
| The following HTML: | |
| <video controls> | |
| <source src="foo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'> | |
| </video> | |
| Will cause Firefox to make an extra HTTP request for the URL '/' (verified in Firebug's Net panel & Live HTTP Headers extension) | |
| Adding a 'poster' attribute to the video element will fix this, but is sometimes not desirable/possible. | |
| - An empty poster attribute (poster="") will not work | |
| - An poster attribute of # will not work | |
| - An poster attribute of 'about:blank' WILL work in FF (displays first video frame), but displays a blank screen in Chrome | |
| Quick, hacky fix in jQuery (outside of document.ready): | |
| if(jQuery.browser.mozilla){ | |
| jQuery('video').attr('poster', 'about:blank'); | |
| } |
