Rebuilding microB using more recent gecko engines solve html5 problem. Still, I don't see why we should care, cause inside html5 You can still embed proprietary coded video, with no library to decode it (using HW acceleration) provided for our device. There is no such things as "html5 videos" (standalone).

So, basically, you're saying, that fennec is going to save us from getting hit with Battle Axe - by hitting us with Giant Mace.

// Edit

Of course, if industry decide to use open standards - like Theora - embedded into their html5 websites, that's ok. Still, we can use it (theora) already, so html5 is again of no interest to us.

html5 is rather sh*t for sh*tty web-based applications, less for videos/media/etc. I.E, you will get more chances to have malware installed/proceed, cause html5 websites gain more permission to use Your crucial software/hardware components
