Bug 769117 discusses whether Gecko should detect YouTube's old embedding
boilerplate and automatically rewrite it to use the current code.
Firefox and Safari extensions [1] [2] already do this, but should Gecko
include this feature directly? It would improve users' video experience
and fix dead links if/when Firefox or YouTube stop supporting Flash.
OTOH, this is a site-specific workaround and thus might not belong in
Gecko itself.
It think that it is a feature that could be implemented in Firefox:
1. make it so that the rules are rewritable without updating the
browser, or at least touching the core. ESR comes to mind as a reason
why we'd love to update these.
This sounds like a good use case for a "system addon" described by the
"Go Faster" initiative. [1]
2. make it cross platform. Mobile (including FirefoxOS) would completely
benefit from that. Case in point, Safari on iOS has been doing that for
a very long time.
+1.
