Package: iceweasel
Version: 24.6.0esr-1~deb7u1
Severity: normal
Iceweasel 24.6.0 has the --disable-gstreamer complie time option as listed in
about:buildconfig, which means youtube's HTML5 player doesn't work with H264
videos even if the about:config option media.gstreamer.enabled is set to true.
http://www.youtube.com/html5 reports no H.264 support, it worked before the
Iceweasel 24.5.0 update a month or so ago.
Iceweasel used the gstreamer 0.10 packages which are still available in stable,
I saw from some googling ( http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-
mozilla-maintainers/2014-May/015728.html ) that support was removed because
gstreamer 0.10 was no longer available in testing. Iceweasel 29 is now the
version in testing, with 24 only being in stable, so there's no reason for the
--disable-gstreamer flag anymore.

I'll repeat here what I wrote in bug 748222:
Debian wheezy originally shipped with Iceweasel 10, which didn't have
any kind of gstreamer support at all, not even hidden behind a pref like
version 24. We're essentially constrained to ship newer versions for
security reasons. That they add features is nice, but removing
unsupported features is not exactly a regression either.
