Title:
  firefox on ubuntu 14.04 does not play mp4 files

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On xubuntu 14.04 the package gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg_0.10.13-5_amd64.deb is not available,
  so I could not use mp4 h264 files in html5 tags. I used the .deb package from ubuntu 13.10 and after an apt-get -f install everything works fine.
  I don't know why the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package is not available anymore, it looks like firefox could use gstreamer1.0-libav. I don't know if the h264 decoder is enabled in gstreamer1.0-libav package.

  I hope that this bug report will help people get html5 video working.

  Tested with firefox 25 and 29.
