I am using Firefox (Iceweasel) 24 in Debian Wheezy. When I go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 it shows me that my browser does not support H.264When I go to the same URL with Chrome, it shows H.264 is supportedAfter googling, I found few debian bug reports about this. Seems that H.264 is disabled deliberately. Indeed when I go to about:buildconfig in Firefox, I see it has been compiled with --disable-gstreamerI am confused why this is disabled. Is this a technical reason, or a license/free software issueIs there any simple way to enable H.264 in my browser (short of recompiling my own iceweasel package) ?Can somebody please explain the situation and why it arose ?EDIT:I have all necessary packages installed:gstreamer0.10-ffmpeglibx264-123libavutil51libavformat53libavcodec53gstreamer0.10-plugins-goodchromium-browser
