Using Firefox on Android with uBlock Origin enabled, I was redirected to some "onlinexperiences.com" site that displayed "System Check" and then a constantly growing number of lines containing only "Browser".

Then I tried the stock Android Browser and it passed the browser check, but redirected to a login page.

Going back to Firefox and disabling uBlock Origin, I was able to access a description of the talk and the video itself. So I conclude that the video is available without login, but you have to use Firefox and allow yourself to be tracked.

Pretty grating "online experience" for something hosted on a mozilla.org subdomain.

Edit: the video file is here: https://airmo-7feeef12f503ef5d.s3.amazonaws.com/2014/02/06/4...




Very bizarrely for something on mozilla.org, it incorrectly believes my firefox is out of date: https://i.imgur.com/BRNBDPj.png

I think there must be a cultural disconnect between how people at Mozilla use firefox, and how users like us use Firefox.


AFAIK air.mozilla.org is some ready-made product by a different company (maybe even run by them), not developed by Mozilla


The site crashed my browser... very strange.
