    Making mozilla.org awesome, one pebble at a time (by mozilla)

    Try to install Firefox directly from https://www.mozilla.org you can download it there for Linux, extract it into your home directory and run it from there. That version should be able to play videos, but it will do with software decoding so depending on your hardware, you might not be able to play 4k videos without lags or framedrops.
