Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but are there outstanding exploits that Mozilla found that haven't made it upstream yet to Ogg, WebM? If it is gStreamer specific, but not the codecs, then all someone would need to do is use H264 to exploit it. > I'm going to change our decoder creation code in bug 799344 to not use > GStreamer for Ogg and WebM. One of the reasons I am interested in this bug is due to what seems to be much better video acceleration code in gStreamer vs Firefox. At least could it be be made an about:config option, pass all to gstreamer? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051559 Title: Build Firefox with GStreamer support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1051559/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
