GStreamer backend for video in Firefox

Good news to hear that the GStreamer backend for video playback in Firefox has landed, due to a flurry of work by Alessandro Decina in the last few months.  Of course, this isn’t part of the standard Firefox build (but maybe some day?), but it’s very useful for putting Firefox on mobile and embedded platforms, since GStreamer has a well-established ecosystem of vendor-provided plugins for hardware decoding.
