Mobile Firefox does not suppot HLS.
> On desktop browser no error but playing fine.
Also Firefox on desktop does not support HLS out of the box. It can play
HLS if an extension is installed. This can be provided by VLC or
Gstreamer for example. Most people won't have this installed.

In HTML5 you can provide MP4 and WebM as a fallback:

|<video width="480" height="270" controls> <source src="video.m3u8"
type="application/x-mpegurl" /> <source src="|||video|.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> <source src="||||video||.webm" type="video/webm" /> </video>|


If you want a cross-browser streaming solution, you could look into
MPEG-DASH (http://dashif.org/).

Cheers,
Walter
