Firefox 47.0 Is Ready For Release

[timofonic]

They added partially this feature in FF46. http://www.ghacks.net/2016/01/16/fir...o-html5-video/

It's not converting the video itself, it's going fetching the html5 version of the video instead if available even if the page has only an old flash-only embed code.

Most sites embed youtube videos or other services that switched to html5, but never updated the embed code.

Oh, I tought that is done only by GreaseMonkey addons such as iSebaro's ViewTube and ViewTube+, ViewTube_GM, ViewTubePlus and HTML5 Video EveryWhere.

I would love these addons would be integrate in the web browser, but probably site designers would complain becase whatever.

I don't believe you at all. Can you please provide relevant and reliable sources about that assumption?

about videos, is not html5 embeded video, it nows if there is a flash embeded video, it converts it to html5 and plays it, some website didn't changed the embeded code of a youtube video since 5 or more years ago, with this the videos will play even if you don't have flash, but only embeded flash youtube videos.

curious - which webpages that only support flash do you rely on?
for me there was 1 tv-media-page within the last 12 months where I needed flash. For that I fired up chrome.

IIRC, twitch is flash only, correct me if I'm wrong.
Fortunately you can watch streams through a client like VLC.

haven't tried for a while now, but having flash default-blocked didn't help...uninstalling sadly isn't really convenient nowadays, althought its getting better every day ^^

I mean to make firefox compliant to wayland so to benefit of this compositor.

In that case, yes, there is a plan: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635134

By the way any plan to implement wayland on firefox?

I think Firefox on Linux is on GTK3 now, right? The GTK3 team has Wayland support working at least somewhat - GNOME 3 on Wayland is an option on Fedora Linux.

So if it's not already working it should be coming soon.

You mean running Wayland inside Firefox?
