I also found the following:

• When embedding links which contain an ampersand "&" we do not properly escape it when we store that link in XML or HTML. This is something we should fix.
• The YouTube pages contain oEmbed information which uses OpenBoard for embedding the video. The link in this information gives error 153 even in another browser.

BTW: I don't speak French. For me it is easier if you write in English.
