 Can you please try to install the following packages (not all
 of them are not needed for HTML5 videos; I have compiled this list
 after trying various web sites with multimedia contents using a
 webkit-gtk based browser but if Firefox uses gstreamer1 it will be
 probably the same):
 
 audio/gst-plugins1-oss
 audio/gst-plugins1-vorbis
 multimedia/gst-plugins1-base
 multimedia/gst-plugins1-good
 multimedia/gst-plugins1-libav
 multimedia/gst-plugins1-ogg
 multimedia/gst-plugins1-theora
 multimedia/gst-plugins1-ugly
 multimedia/gst-plugins1-vpx
 multimedia/gst-plugins1-x264
 
 
 Thank you in advance!
 Ciao,
