Your experience of Firefox + HTML5
Hi,
recently Firefox has become capable of playing video directly without plugins.
It's the big HTML5 + <video> saga.
I'm running Fedora 11 super up to date and I have to say that this things works a bit but not very well.
Take for instance the home page of firefox and click bottom left
<a href="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/video/" title="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/video/">http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/video/</a>
It's a good example of what does not work.
If I pause the video there is no way of starting again.
And the same for all other HTML5 videos I've seen.
Has anybody tried <a href="http://www.youtube.com/html5" title="http://www.youtube.com/html5">http://www.youtube.com/html5</a>, this is even worse as it does not work even without
pressing pause.

Works fine for me.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091105
Fedora/3.5.5-1.fc11 Firefox/3.5.5
Ditto. Does not start.
Re: Your experience of Firefox + HTML5
I've got the same exact version, but as soon as I press pause, nothing works anymore...
Re: Your experience of Firefox + HTML5
Maybe you have an extension loaded that's causing a conflict.

Having now tried this on two up to date F11 x86_64 systems I've found
that the same pause problem happens there (after cleaning my
~/.mozilla directory and disabling any system-wide plugins that
remained). This leaves me wondering whether Andrea is using 64bit or
32bit Firefox.
Versions:
firefox-3.5.5-1.fc11.x86_64
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091105
Fedora/3.5.5-1.fc11 Firefox/3.5.5
Think I'll file a bug once I get time...
Re: Your experience of Firefox + HTML5
32 bit for me.
post here the link please.
Re: Your experience of Firefox + HTML5
The first one works under 3.5.5 while second video not even
initializes.Compared to Google chrome released last week both are
running just great.

Not on a Fedora system right now, but the
<a href="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/video/" title="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/video/">http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/video/</a> example is working for
me on Firefox 3.5.5 on Slackware (pausing, backwards and forwards,
etc.), so that might be a Fedora-specific problem. The
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/html5" title="http://www.youtube.com/html5">http://www.youtube.com/html5</a> example does not work, right clicking on
it to 'save as' shows it is an mp4 file, which is probably not
supported without extra plugins. The failure to specify a basic codec
support for HTML5 was its major failing.
