The official Linux binaries from Mozilla are not built with --enable-gstreamer=1.0 yet, see:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=947287
As you can read over there, currently it's still up to the distro maintainers to decide whether or not they build Firefox with --enable-gstreamer=1.0, since apparently some distros still are relying on the old and outdated GStreamer 0.10 and do not have the new GStreamer 1.x in their repos yet.
Ubuntu for example has GStreamer 1.x and it has Firefox built with --enable-gstreamer=1.0.
Since Tiny Core Linux also has GStreamer 1.x in it's repos already, it should also have it's Firefox extensions built with --enable-gstreamer=1.0 IMHO.
It would be really nice if someone would do it.

PS:
Whoops, actually it seems like HTML5 video soon will be done via FFmpeg/Libav instead of GStreamer, see:

All that makes sense - I think gstreamer-0.10 wasn't enough to get my current ff working with a/v. Had to add ffmpeg and such.
I'll see if I can whip up a flexible extension builder that downloads the current source.

FYI - html5 works with epiphany with the default deps
coreplayer2:
Firefox > YouTube > HTML5 - Video with sound has been supported for quite some time
I watch HTML5 video in Firefox all the time though I prefer using flash
Am I missing something?
