Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] HTML5 video issues with Firefox
I have the same problem but it seems that Facebook assumes that whenyou are using a desktop you
have to use FLASH to play videos. How Firefoxon FreeBSD plays videos is a mystery... On
smartphones,it uses HTML5. The following leads to a
videohttps://www.facebook.com/diamandino/videos/p.1360179687354673/1360179687354673/?type=2&theaterIf
you replace www with m, you will be able to watch the video.A.S.----------------------Apostolos

Just an update...
I have found that if ffmpeg, faad and possibly the gstreamer1 bad + ugly
packages are installed, *then* Firefox will play videos properly on
Facebook and others. Firefox no longer complains about not having the
latest Flash plugin.
This finding might solve the mystery as to why some Hipster users are
able to play the videos while others cannot.
Thanks all! :-)
