Description:
H264 is no longer working for firefox 30 and the new gstreamer 1.0 support.
I first noticed it by being unable to switch Youtube's video quality above 480p.

The video format support test page on Microsoft's testdrive page shows the attached result.

% pacman -Q | grep gst-plugins
gst-plugins-bad 1.2.4-1
gst-plugins-base 1.2.4-1
gst-plugins-base-libs 1.2.4-1
gst-plugins-good 1.2.4-1
gst-plugins-ugly 1.2.4-1

% pacman -Q | grep firefox
firefox 30.0-1
firefox-i18n-de 30.0-1

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Need to have gst-plugins-good and gst-libav installed, as mentioned in the optional dependencies.

You will need gst-libav for this.
