But getting back to the problem that I can't use SM or FF to watch video
presented with Youtube's HTML5 Player, people say that I don't have the
necessary codecs or that my XP OS doesn't have the necessary. Well, my
Chrome browser on my XP machine DOES play those videos. If Chrome has
something in it that does that running on XP, why doesn't FF and SM?
Now, I can think of various possible answers to that question, but i
can't identify the correct answer.
The following also applies to SeaMonkey:
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats>
"[10] To avoid patent issues, support for MPEG 4, H.264 and MP3 is not
built directly into Firefox. Instead it relies on support from the OS or
hardware (the hardware also needs to be able to support the profile used
to encode the video, in the case of MP4). Firefox supports these formats
on the following platforms: Windows Vista+ since Firefox 22.0, Android
since Firefox 20.0, Firefox OS since Firefox 15.0, Linux since Firefox
26.0 (relies on GStreamer codecs) and OS X 10.7 since Firefox 35.0."
