Anyway, I have hope I'll have money for buy a new notebook next year (maybe with a 3rd generation i3?)
On-topic: What is the advantage of using gstreamer to play h.264 in firefox? From what I read in wikipedia it will pipes the videos to some decoder (maybe mplayer2 or ffmpeg). Is someone already using this feature?

It would allow hardware decode acceleration via vdpau.

Convenience for the end user. Vimeo (and other sites that don't support webm) for example works.

The exact optimal number varies based on both the project you are compiling and the details of your hardware, but the +1 is a good general starting point.Last edited by smitty3268; 12 December 2013, 02:27 AM.

Also, note that TLS 1.1 was disabled for Firefox 26 because a last-minute compatibility issue was found with https://mymedicare.gov. See comment 67 in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733647 for more details. If you don't use that site and you want to use TLS 1.1 you can go to about:config and change the value of security.tls.version.max from "1" to "2".

I've got an Ubuntu 12.04.1 LiveCD here so I'll report back once I've booted it, installed the gstreamer plugins and updated Firefox.
