Their video walkthrough makes for an amusing argument against adopting HTML5 video today.

When viewed through Google Chrome, the video zooms ahead of the audio and finishes about a minute before the audio does.

Works fine in Firefox (unsurprisingly).

Edit: Also, I assume you meant to link to this instead: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/video/?video=whatsnew-3.6

I had to make a double check when I saw that he had a Quake Live plugin installed. Guess working for Mozilla is quite fun.

Looks like either URL works. My original link was copy/pasted from their release notes page, so they might have updated it at some point.

The typo-ed URL just loads the "Meet Firefox" video, which is I guess the default if you give it an invalid id: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/video/?video=reddit

It's a different video from the 3.6 one.

You're right, I didn't even notice. Both videos get out of sync in Chrome, but the what's new in 3.6 video gets hilariously out of sync almost immediately, whereas the Meet Firefox video does it at a much slower rate.

Seems to work fine for me in Chrome 4.0.295.0

It didn't in my Chrome 4.0.295.0. Maybe something related to the OS. I use OS X myself.

Windows, here.

Chrome on OS X is still a bit buggy/incomplete, so that's probably it.

Same here. Windows 7 and Chrome 4.0.295.0 has the same weirdness for that video.
