This is probably going to be a royal pain to implement, but alas it is a necessary evil. I despise the fact that Firefox is going to have to implement proprietary codecs to stay relevant, but it's better than having 90% of the videos online not working. As a user and bug tester, this is indeed a sad day for us. This implementation is especially important since Adobe only supports Flash for Linux in Pepper form currently. Last thing I want is to have to reboot into Windows for yet another thing. I love Linux (any distro) but cannot sacrifice usability for ideology. Trust me, this will be worth it. We are getting a second rate experience, thanks Adobe! Oh well. Can't win all the battles out there but the war for freedom rages on. Just thought I'd deliver the non-typical power user opinion on this. Sorry if I got off topic. But the end user would wonder (on any platform) why videos wouldn't work on Firefox if we didn't support this, and they would likely dump Firefox for a proprietary browser such as Google Chrome. Best we stay relevant. Just imagine the consequences on Linux, where a lot of the brainpower is. Not to insult any other platform's users, but many Linux users are developers and users. Many Windows and Mac users are just users, with a few developers here and there. Any implementation to help us stay relevant is deeply appreciated. End rant.
