Same as you, I don't have any media player plugin installed on my browser,
but thanks to that script I am getting the links to appear on the error
console. And if this is not enough for you, you can always install the
MediaPlayerConnectivity addon  and get direct links to the embedded video(s)
in the sidebar (but you'll still need the script above in order to make mako
site compatible with Firefox).

Here is your link. Enjoy.

I am right now working on aggregating result from Firefox users survey we
ran back in December (I've done only about 15% of the data for this
question), and I must tell you - not-compatible video sites is the #1
reported reason of reported sites.
