Hi Chris. Unless I am mistaken, recent Ubuntu versions seem to default to gstreamer 1.0 by default. Although gstreamer 0.10 is also installed in parallel, the different gstreamer versions are not parallel linkable. Firefox currently has support for using the system gstreamer 0.10 for H.264 HTML5 video playback, but not for using the system gstreamer 1.0 for H.264 HTML5 video playback. This is being worked on in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=806917

Please do not post comments. Firefox 26 has turned on the media.gstreamer.enabled preference by default. This enables H.264 playback with gstreamer 0.10 if the relevant gstreamer plugins are installed. Firefox support for gstreamer 1.0 is being worked on and is expected to arrive soon.
