ffmpeg is installed and up-to-date.
Can it be made to work?
Perhaps, if you specified the URL of the file, it might be a step on

The same video is available as avi, and that works fine with Firefox by
launching an external viewer such as vlc or dragon. I would expect
Firefox to offer to download the file or choose a viewer instead of the
sad-face window.
