If you disable webm, it will not be able to play html5 from youtube. To be honest, if you don't need xulrunner for something else then building firefox without it seems to be easier these days. I'll hazard a guess that libvorbis, maybe even vorbis-tools, is/are needed for html5 on youtube. > > I finally did download the binary.

That used to happen to me frequently when I installed a newer firefox release. Nowadays I've had to rejoin the test less often. I'll guess that the binary perhaps uses a different dot directory. > Everything is flash rendered and sound (via gnash) is OK.
