HTML5 videos won't play correctly with built-in player
1) When I try to play html5 video, firefox only shows me a few frames, and then screen become grayed and «loading» animation appears. Then it shows me next few frames, and a loading screen again. It continues until the whole video will load. 2) When it finally loads, video and sound are a little bit choppy if the video is in good quality. Other browsers play that videos without any lags or loading screens. Here's the example of one of that videos I couldn't watch normally: https://m.vk.com/video-51189706_170637645 I've looked up at memory indicator, and it showed me that I have at least 200Mbs of free RAM during the loading of these videos. Also every memory limit setting in about:config is set to -1. I use the latest firefox version from Play Store and own an Asus TF300T tablet (nvidia tegra3 and 1Gb of RAM), so it's certainly not a lack of hardware power. I also should note that when I watch youtube videos (with firefox, not youtube player, which I've removed), everything is fine — videos are playing and loading at the same time.

I cannot view that video however we are in the process of making some major changes to video playback on Android. Currently these changes are in our Aurora build of Firefox it can be downloaded at https://aurora.mozilla.org if you would like to see if this improves the video playback.
Ok, I've installed the latest Aurora, and now some videos load more smoothly, but that annoying grey screen still pops up even when my video has preloaded well. Now it doesn't «freeze» the video — the playback continues, but all I can see is a grey screen with «loading» circle; I should note that when I stop the video, it shows me the current frame. But that improvements which helped me with some videos won't help generally because: 1) NO SOUND, even on youtube; 2) Aurora constantly crashes after I scroll through the navigation bar. Here is another example: http://html5videoformatconverter.com/html5-video-tag-example.html — that video won't play normally until loaded completely. When I try to play it, it shows me grey screen and I need to wait for it to be loaded.

Ok, with that last update for aurora video plays fine, but without multitasking! It was the main feature I was using firefox for, because it lets me to play videos in one tab and the switch to other tabs or apps. Please bring it back asap.
