I am not too familiar with the current backends but there is a good chance that gstreamer would be more performant and reliable. I know that gstreamer has support for accelerated video playback on many GPU drivers. I'm not saying that gstreamer should be the default but it would be nice to have it as an option. -- 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 Status in “iceweasel” package in Debian: New Status in “firefox” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Building Firefox with GStreamer support would provide support for a lot of websites that use h264.
