Re: [Trisquel-users] Firefox may support H264 after all

[tegskywalker]

So how would this work with Abrowser and IceCat? Do they look for Gstreamer  
or libavcodec on the system and use them? Or do they continue to block  
entirely? I say this becuase the Gnash browser plugin will recommend and  
install the Gstreamer libraries for the MPEG4 container and the codecs it  
tends to use.

This is scary times becuase Mozilla said they cannnot survive on the mobile  
market without supporting H264. Even in the last few days there have been  
discussions that WebM is pretty much a failure due to lukewarm support by  
Google in both hardware support and encoding tools. Google even said they  
were going to remove H264 a long time ago but have still yet to pull the  
plug.
