Video on a Mozilla page isn't playing on Firefox. Just saying...

Same here. Pretty disappointing. It does work with `mpv --ytdl`, though.

Assuming you're talking about https://advocacy.mozilla.org/encrypt/ https://advocacy.mozilla.org/encrypt/, it works fine for me on FF 46, and they do have both MP4 and WebM sources.

It's a poor video, you're not missing much. Painfully, it suggests "public vs private" hinges on encryption. The implication is that without encryption, your co-workers will see everything you do! Public and private are distinct choices. Things can be private and unencrypted. Lack of encryption means lack of security in the event of a breach, it has nothing to do with choosing public vs private posts and web searches. Works fine in my FF. And for what it's worth, I think Apple should assist in revealing the contents of the phone if they can. I'm surprised people are defending Apple. My understanding is the request is about making the phone open to brute force attack, so it's not like encryption is under threat. It's poor password choice that's under threat. Apple does not need to compromise any other phone in doing this.

  Without encryption, anyone on the same network - including your coworkers - can certainly see everything you do. Tools like Firesheep make it dead-simple to do. What you're talking about is encryption of data at rest, which is a specific subset of encryption. And even then, what makes you think the breached data won't be available to your coworkers? The stuff on Ashley Madison certainly did.

    There still needs to be a breach, and intent. The video simplifies everything down to the equivalent of shouting your private message across a room when encryption is absent, which it certainly isn't. If you want to sell encryption, please keep it real. A hand written letter to your mother in the post is private unless intentionally and illegally intercepted. By the logic of the video, the letter is passed along and read by your neighbors before reaching its true destination.

      > The video simplifies everything down to the equivalent of shouting your private message across a room when encryption is absent, which it certainly isn't. Uh, if you're on wifi or a mobile connection, depending on the configuration, it pretty much is exactly like shouting a private message across a room

        Except it isn't. I could press a glass against the wall and listen to people having a private conversation. Does that make their conversation public "like shouting it across the room"? No. Of course it doesn't. Get your analogies straight. I could use my zoom lens to spy over your shoulder as you type your message into your super-encrypted phone. I will now publish the video on youtube, your private message now public. Serves you right for "shouting your message across the room".

        That's not how WiFi works, it's not like a wall or anything. Your device literally "shouts" (transmits in RF) your private message across the room (and into adjoining rooms). Anybody that can connect to the WiFi network (or has a decent machine and half an hour to kill) can read your message (the encryption in WiFi is fucked).
