I'd rather keep our existing backends/libraries for decoding Ogg and WebM unless there's a compelling reason to switch to using GStreamer for those formats. Our Ogg and WebM libraries have been fuzzed pretty hard over the years, and our backends using those libraries have been well tested and are known to be robust and work well. We don't really want to redo all that "robustification" work for Ogg and WebM, we won't gain much by doing that now. Keeping our existing libraries also ensures Firefox's media playback behaviour is more likely to remain consistent across all platforms. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051559 Title: Build Firefox with GStreamer support Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “iceweasel” package in Debian: New Status in “firefox” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Building Firefox with GStreamer support would provide support for a lot of websites that use h264.
