  HTML5 video in Firefox continues to tear

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Video tearing on graphics drivers that don't have proper vsync without
  OpenGL/compositing currently enabled.

  [Test Case]

  Open http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCPkOpMHB7g without Adobe Flash
  plugin installed and put the (HTML5) video full screen from the video
  control button. Tearing should not be observed.

  [Regression Potential]

  None, equals to current quantal/precise behavior.

  After the fix to bug #1051802 I can see the option having an effect
  (on Intel hardware where the tearing problem appears), but not on
  youtube videos when viewed in Firefox. A good test is
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCPkOpMHB7g

  (modified to bug report to state that it's HTML5 video, which is
  nowadays the default for Ubuntu users in Youtube since Flash isn't
  installed by default)
