We talked about this in Auckland, and we'd prefer to use our existing built-in backends for Ogg and WebM, since they've been fuzz tested and we know they're reliable.
I'm going to change our decoder creation code in bug 799344 to not use GStreamer for Ogg and WebM. (And my GStreamer is whatever is the current up-to-date version in Ubuntu 12.04. I don't think we should rely on users having a newer version.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051559 Title: Build Firefox with GStreamer support Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Building Firefox with GStreamer support would provide support for a lot of websites that use h264.
