Does Vimeo run non-free Javascript??

When I visit Vimeo's front page with IceCat, the video thumbnails don't show, but the video frames and titles show.
vimeo.com
When I click on one of those videos, it goes to a page dedicated to that video. The video works fine there. But I don't know whether the page runs proprieatry Javascript ... does anyone know?
That video played fine for me and I'm running very stringent Icecat, private browsing, librejs enforced, etc.
This FSF page says that Vimeo has the same problem as YouTube's HTML5 option. I suppose that means that the video format is potentially libre, and the video player is proprieatry. The FSF's comment about Vimeo was added sometime between Dec 2014 and March 2015.

I get a "Sorry: This Video Does Not Exist" message on every video with JS disabled. I just use youtube-dl to download the video.
