Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Firefox 14 has a build option --enable-gstreamer that allows it to playback html5 videos using codecs from gstreamer. This allows users to add codecs that are not shipped by default (notably H.264).

This is not enabled in current fedora builds (as can be seen by putting about:buildconfig in the URL bar), hence only theora and webm videos can be played.

This would increase the number of sites on which the html5 video can be used instead of flash.

I assume that this would be equivalent licence-wise to rhythmbox and gstreamer, that can have additional codecs added by the user through gstreamer plugins. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the page http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html
2. only the theora and webm videos play


Expected Results:  
With --enable-gstreamer and the correct gstreamer plugins added the H.264 video should also play
