firefox package

Erractic display of video by Firefox 4.0.1 (for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0)

Asked by Arbiel Perlacremaz

Firefox 4.0.1,as incorporated into Natty 64 bits erratically erases part of the videos. However the sound seems not to be affected.
As an example:
http://www.chateauversailles-spectacles.fr/les-fetes-venitiennes-sur-le-grand-canal-90.html
Google chromium is not affected

Thanks in advance for the piece of advice
