** Description changed: Whenever it tries to play a video, Firefox 50 displays this message at the top of every page: "libavcodec may be vulnerable or is not supported, and should be updated to play video" https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/locales/en- US/chrome/browser/browser.properties?q=%22libavcodec+may+be+vulnerable%22&redirect_type=single#742 Firefox refuses any libavcodec version prior to 54.35.1 (unless media.libavcodec.allow-obsolete==true). https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla- central/source/dom/media/platforms/ffmpeg/FFmpegLibWrapper.cpp#60 Users should not be subjected to this warning, as it is vague (does not instruct them how to fix it). Ubuntu 14.04 LTS should ship with an updated version of libavcodec. - ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: firefox 50.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.2 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-101.148-generic 3.13.11-ckt39 - Uname: Linux 3.13.0-101-generic x86_64 - AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False - ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.21 - Architecture: amd64 - AudioDevicesInUse: - USER PID ACCESS COMMAND - /dev/snd/controlC0: ori 2431 F.... pulseaudio - BuildID: 20161114145022 - Channel: Unavailable - CurrentDesktop: Unity - Date: Mon Nov 21 10:09:03 2016 - DefaultProfileIncompatibleExtensions: - English (South Africa) Language Pack - langpack-en...@firefox.mozilla.org - English (GB) Language Pack - langpack-en...@firefox.mozilla.org - Default - {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} - DefaultProfilePrefSources: - prefs.js - [Profile]/extensions/{3d7eb24f-2740-49df-8937-200b1cc08f8a}/defaults/preferences/flashblock.js - [Profile]/extensions/{5384767E-00D9-40E9-B72F-9CC39D655D6F}/defaults/preferences/defaults.js - ForcedLayersAccel: False - IfupdownConfig: - # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) - auto lo - iface lo inet loopback - InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-01-09 (1411 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) - IpRoute: - default via 192.168.8.1 dev eth0 proto static - 192.168.8.0/22 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.8.75 metric 1 - IwConfig: - eth0 no wireless extensions. - - lo no wireless extensions. - MostRecentCrashID: bp-863e2662-418a-4ee8-9f3c-2aef72160606 - Profile1Extensions: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing - Profile1IncompatibleExtensions: Unavailable (corrupt or non-existant compatibility.ini or extensions.sqlite) - Profile1Locales: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing - Profile1PrefSources: prefs.js - Profile1Themes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing - Profiles: - Profile0 (Default) - LastVersion=50.0/20161114145022 (In use) - Profile1 - LastVersion=48.0/20160728204513 (Out of date) - RelatedPackageVersions: - totem-mozilla 3.10.1-1ubuntu4 - rhythmbox-mozilla 3.0.2-0ubuntu2 - icedtea-7-plugin 1.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 - RfKill: - - RunningIncompatibleAddons: True - SourcePackage: firefox - SubmittedCrashIDs: - bp-863e2662-418a-4ee8-9f3c-2aef72160606 - bp-02def148-f1d0-4998-99e5-e81a42160606 - bp-7c5452b0-1284-4c6d-a427-70c842141223 - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-08-11 (832 days ago) - WifiSyslog: - - dmi.bios.date: 04/11/2011 - dmi.bios.vendor: Award Software International, Inc. - dmi.bios.version: F2 - dmi.board.name: H61M-S2V-B3 - dmi.board.vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. - dmi.board.version: x.x - dmi.chassis.type: 3 - dmi.chassis.vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. - dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAwardSoftwareInternational,Inc.:bvrF2:bd04/11/2011:svnGigabyteTechnologyCo.,Ltd.:pnH61M-S2V-B3:pvr:rvnGigabyteTechnologyCo.,Ltd.:rnH61M-S2V-B3:rvrx.x:cvnGigabyteTechnologyCo.,Ltd.:ct3:cvr: - dmi.product.name: H61M-S2V-B3 - dmi.sys.vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
