I came across this blog post today:
http://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2013/01/10/making-firefox-love-your-gnome-desktop/
Key quote:
"The second item [Martin Stransky and Jan Horak] are working on is
enabling the GStreamer backend in Firefox on Fedora. Which means that if
you install for instance H264 support for Totem you will also have H264
support for HTML5 in Firefox."
I think this is something that we should encourage, and for other
distros too. I'm not an expert on Linux or Linux package management, but
I'd assume that the distros have a better ability than us to determine
what version of GStreamer is present on the user's system, and enforce
it even.
What are people's thoughts on encouraging distros to enable GStreamer
support in their Firefox builds? Shall we reach out to Martin and Jan to
ask if there's any assistance or guidance that we can offer?
Cheers,
Chris P.
