firefox - html5 video - default video fallback does not show

I use latest firefox browser and I want to show the default fallback message when video format does not supported by firefox (as html5 documentation described), but firefox only show poster image and text on it "No video with supported format and MIME type found"

Any ideas how to show This is FALLBACK MESSAGE content (as it must showed) instead of firefox error message? thanks

<video poster="movie.jpg" controls>
        <source src="movie.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4D401E, mp4a.40.2"'/>
        <p>This is FALLBACK MESSAGE content</p>
</video>

Per spec, the browser must not show the fallback if it supports <video>, even if it happens to not support the provided codecs..... Hence the behavior you're seeing in Firefox: the spec requires that behavior.
