[Bug 1043314] [NEW] embedded ogv does not work on firefox 15 on 12.04+

[Jamie Strandboge]

Public bug reported:

In testing the firefox 15 updates for stable releases in QRT, I discovered that for both amd64 and i386 embedded ogv files no longer play on 12.04 LTS. Eg:
http://people.canonical.com/~jamie/totem-plugin-viewer-test/media-full.html
http://people.canonical.com/~jamie/totem-plugin-viewer-test/media.html

These work on earlier releases. On 12.04 LTS the browser reports:
"The Windows Media Player 10 (compatible; Totem plugin has crashed. Send crash report"

If I click "Send crash report" it looks like it was sent, but I don't
know where. On 12.10 a crash screen is displayed in the window, and it
says and clicking the crash screen icon (may require a page reload) says
"an error occurred. Could not decode stream."

This may not be an issue with firefox per say (ie, it might be totem or
gstreamer), but this is a regression over earlier releases and the 12.04
dialog is confusing for the user.
