Hi List,
is somebody using Firefox without the Adobe Flashplugin, and using the HTML5 video features?
I removed the Adobe Flashplugin. On Youtube some videos are working, some not. On Vimeo nothing works.
With Midori vimeo works, youtube doesn't work.
I would like firefox to support h.264 videos.
Kind regards

maybe come in the future if the codecs are installed via gstreamer, on Android Firefox is using the system librariers since some releases for H264/HTML5
firefox CAN NOT include the H264 codec in open source
but there are surely existing extensions as example VLC plugin and so on

Don't forget that in youtube.....
Additional Restrictions (we are working on these!)
* Videos with ads are not supported (they will play in the Flash player) * On Firefox and Opera, only videos with WebM transcodes will play in HTML5 * If you've opted in to other testtube experiments, you may not get the HTML5 player (Feather is supported, though)

Since Firefox 14 it has had a build time option to enable gstreamer. Then if you have the gstreamer codec for h.264 installed it will play. see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843583 hopefully it will be enabled in the fedora build soon.
once you have a gstreamer enabled firefox vimeo still does not work (i think because of their browser detection), but you can circumvent that by using the embedded player. ie change the url from something like https://vimeo.com/55157792 to https://player.vimeo.com/video/55157792 . I do this with the following bookmarklet
javascript:(function()%20{window.location=window.location.toString().replace('vimeo.com/','player.vimeo.com/video/');})()
