Since upgrading to version 10 (I think), HTML5 video has stopped working.
I have tested the following pages:

 * http://webm.html5.org/
 * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yorCR29ikmw (after first opting in
   at http://www.youtube.com/html5)
 * http://double.co.nz/video_test/test5.html
 * http://people.xiph.org/~maikmerten/demos/bigbuckbunny-videoonly.html
 * http://www.wellesley.edu/~kenny/html5/vp8.html

Where the pages are able to detect the browser's support for the video
tag, they display a message saying that the browser is not support. In
other cases, the video element simply doesn't display.
