Miro doesn't seem to be a useful application in its current state. After starting Miro it just shows a mostly empty window with some controls at the bottom. Selecting "YouTube" in the drop-down, entering something to search for and clicking go does nothing. Opening a locally stored video from the menu does nothing. I'm not sure how to get it to do what is advertised on its homepage. Here is what I get when I start Miro from the shell: [dennis@nexus ~]$ miro /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9pre INFO Starting up Miro INFO Version: 1.1.2 INFO Revision: https://svn.participatoryculture.org/svn/dtv/tags/Miro-1.1.2/tv/resources - 6194 INFO Builder: mockbuild.phx.redhat.com INFO Build Time: 1205241379.45 INFO Loading preferences...

Yep, known problem (bug #393521). The issue is that it hasn't been properly ported to work with xulrunner upstream (I've filed a upstream bug and there was been no response). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 393521 ***
