All I can say is that Firefox is my secondary browser. So I use it very
seldom. And this is the first I've heard of an HTML5 add-on.
HTML5 is just the latest incarnation of the hyper text markup language
used to write web pages. And I thought all contemporary browsers
supported it natively, or perhaps better said, inherently. But if
Firefox needs an add-on to support it then I assume it's the result of a
decision the folks at Mozilla made. And I can't honestly see the sense
of it other than wanting to make their browser extremely modular so you
can add and remove support for features. But again, it's a module to add
HTML5 support to the browser. It is not a separate program like Adobe's
flash player that the browser hosts. Most modern programs have modules.
The purpose is so that your system doesn't have to load the code for
everything the program can do at start up. Modules can be loaded and
unloaded or set to load by default. The Firefox HTML5 media player
module is just going to add the code for Firefox to respond to the HTML5
media tags on a web site.
IE 11 supports HTML5 directly. So you need no add-on for it.

i don't know about this. you say no add ons are required. i thought i
was useing html5 with firefox because there was a option on the youtube
site to use the html player. but when i look in the task manager it was
still useing the plug in container, which is the regular flash player.
i did a google search on html5 and firefox and there was indeed a
firefox add on called all html5. once i installed this html5 was really
being used and the old flash player plug in container is now not being
used.
only time will tell if flash will still crash like it use to do.
now i wonder if i need a add on for i e 11? with windows 7?

Using HTML5 will cause no problems. It's not an independent player per
se, like Flash. It's a part of the HTML standard that was introduced in
version 5 that gives browsers that support HTML5 the ability to play
content directly. So any site that incorporates it will simply work with
no add-ons required. And unlike Flash it's designed to be accessible
right out of the box without manually having to code it to be so.
Hopefully it will one day be the end of Flash. But of course millions of
sites have enormous amounts of time and money wrapped up in Flash
development. And they're not all that eager to drop it even though it's
a resource hog, prone to crash, a bug-fest, and a big target for viruses
and malware.
This is at least partly why Apple dropped support for it completely
years ago on iOS devices.

wouldn't this cause a problem?
if you switch to the html5 player would this be used by all web sites
that use flash or only for youtube?
if so wouldn't you still need the w e firefox enhanced app to allow the
flash player to work.

Or go to www.youtube.com/html5 instead of using the flash.

Hi edward, what you need to do is go to window-eyes control panel, with
control back slash when firefox is opened, then press alt a for apps,
then
press f till you hear firefox enhance, then press right arrow, then hit
enter on enable flash in browse mode. If it isn't checked, press
enter, then
everything should work smoovely

True, but I find firefox unstable on youtube.com. Flash makes firefox
and
window eyes crash all the time. Do you have a fix for this?
Thanks

But Edward: you can use v8.4 with Firefox.
The broader question though is that we do need a new Window-eyes sooner
rather than later. The industry appears to be passing Window-eyes by.
Its shortcomings are more than just with Internet Explorer v11.

I think it is likely to coincide with the release of Windows 10.
