Description
Whereas Firefox version 34 will support H.264 video formats natively and with no need for a plugin
Whereas A significant number of websites now support said video format, and even offering H.264 videos in place of Flash when the latter isn't supported/plugin not installed
Whereas TorBrowser blocks Flash plugin, disabling Flash support
Whereas TorBrowser, based on Firefox version 31.x.x ESR, does not support H.264 video format
Therefore, since TorBrowser neither supports Flash nor H.264, reducing its usability when a significant number of websites are now supporting H.264, even offering the latter in place of Flash when it is not supported
And since backporting H.264 support to TorBrowser will significantly increase its usability and therefore increase its user base and by consequences its overall users' anonymity
Therefore, backporting H.264 support to TorBrowser is a major enhancement, if not a necessity
So please, kindly backport H.264 support to TorBrowser from Firefox version 34
Thank you

I don't think we'll backport this given we want to concentrate on the switch to ESR38.
