We've had a complaint from Firefox users about webm video not playing back. The
issue seems to be that the the file is being served with a mime type of
'text/plain' which will cause Firefox to reject the file.

The problem url is
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Experience_ubuntu.ogg/Experience_ubuntu.ogg.360p.webm
from http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu#Philosophie



The issue seems to occur only for some hosts, so perhaps it depends on the
commons server in question. I see 'audio/webm' (still incorrect, since it's a
video, but sufficient for the video to play) here in Vancouver, Canada, as does
another developer in New Zealand, but the complaints are from European users.

Perhaps related to bug 38927, which mentions the same behaviour.
