Apart from development packages (like build-essential) you would also need: sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev and maybe also: sudo apt-get build-dep libgstreamer0.10-dev

I used the .deb package from ubuntu 13.10 and after an apt-get -f install everything works fine. I don't know why the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package is not available anymore, it looks like firefox could use gstreamer1.0-libav. I don't know if the h264 decoder is enabled in gstreamer1.0-libav package. I hope that this bug report will help people get html5 video working. Tested with firefox 25 and 29.
