[Solved] Can't play videos on video.pbs.org in Firefox

Videos on video.pbs.org appear as a black rectangle with the text "Error loading player: No playable sources found" under Firefox. In Chromium and GNOME Web the videos play fine. I have the H264 plugin installed but do not have Flash installed in any form in any of these browsers, so it seems that the videos are using HTML5. In Chromium, I see that the videos are using JW Player. Does anyone know if this can be fixed through configuration in Firefox, or is this a bug? I'd like to file a bug report for Firefox if this is a bug and there isn't one filed already but I'd like to understand better what the problem is.

EDIT: video.pbs.org updated JW Player 7 which works in Firefox 40.
