Maybe Chrome is detecting that the Flash plugin was used for YouTube and is rewriting the HTML content?
Component: Audio/Video → Mobile
Product: Firefox for Android → Tech Evangelism

It links to a page http://whc.unesco.org/include/tool_video.cfm?youtubeid=eAhhk8eTZH4?1 which just embeds an OBJECT tag: <object width="100%" height="470"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eAhhk8eTZH4?1?version=3&amp;hl=fr_FR&amp;rel=0"></param> <param name="autoplay" value="1"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eAhhk8eTZH4?1?version=3&amp;hl=fr_FR&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="470" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="1"></embed> </object> The http://www.youtube.com/v/eAhhk8eTZH4?1?version=3&hl=fr_FR&rel=0 URL does indeed send application/x-shockwave-flash content. On my Moto X, Chrome refuses to show this. It shows an unsupported plugin error message much like Firefox does.
So probably Chrome detects it and shows the YouTube HTML5 player.
Filed bug 1227253 to track adding the same feature to Firefox for Android.
fixed.
