I also tried using the instruction:

which got me further, but I still ended up with the
following error:

Do I need to use the SHELL=/bin/sh form of the
command, and do I also need to install gstreamer?
I don't recall seeing gstreamer in the list of
dependencies. Or do I need to disable gstreamer?
Read carefully the default mozconfig file.
Here are the lines in my mozconfig file relating
to gstreamer:
# GStreamer is necessary for H.264 video playback in HTML5 Video Player;
# to be enabled, also remember to set "media.gstreamer.enabled" to "true"
# in about:config. If you have GStreamer 0.x.y, uncomment this line:
#ac_add_options --enable-gstreamer
# or uncomment this line, if you have GStreamer 1.x.y
#ac_add_options --enable-gstreamer=1.0
I have not un-commented any of these lines, because I have
not installed gstreamer. But from the error I am getting,
it appears that this is not enough, that I have to
explicitly disable gstreamer.
