Snapshots for web pages with embedded video
Whenever I view a snapshot of a web page that has an embedded video the entire snapshot shows up as a page full of letters and numbers. I'm not a site designer, but it looks to me like the raw code for the page. I can think of lots of reasons why I wouldn't be able to have the video captured as part of the snapshot, but I'd like the rest of the page to load correctly. Is there anyway to fix this?

What version of Zotero and Firefox are you using, and what operating system are you running?
Can you post part of the "raw code" that you see in place of the snapshot?

Does it happen if you try to take a snapshot of a YouTube page? How about the Zotero homepage (which has an embedded video screencast)?
