Description of changes
Technical details
Video previews are served using range requests to mp4 files.
Additional context
While chromium-based browser handle range requests perfectly, Firefox always wants to buffer the entire video.
That may lead to unnecessary traffic.
Possible solution (out of the scope of this PR) is to use HLS or DASH as the transfer protocol, but that would also mean significantly more complex frontend part.
