I don't know which gstreamer version the Debian Firefox/Iceweasel uses -
I'm using the upstream Firefox as the Debian one often takes so long to
catch up.
As far as I know, Firefox 30 (to be released in June) will be the first
having GStreamer 1.0 support if enabled at compile-time, so it will be a
while till Debian can even enable that flag.

Kind regards
Ralf
