When browsing a video on Chrome, there are only 2 quality options:
360p and 720p (the 720p seems like it's the same as 360p though...)

When browsing a video on Opera, there are more quality options, it even includes:
480p, 720p60fps and 1080p60fps

When browsing a video on Firefox, it has the same quality options as Opera.
480p, 720p60fps and 1080p60fps, etc...

This only happens for some videos, what's going on?
 
Yes and no, it just happens that the video is VP8 for Chome and H264 for the rest. Change your user string to firefox and they will likely show up
