+video-without-flash
+===================
+
+Firefox extension for watching videos without the Flash plugin.
+
+Fetch video source of flash based media and play the video directly with
+Firefox, without the use of the flash plug-in.
+
+Why you may want to use this extension?
+
+ * You experienced some lag or bad CPU performance using Flash.
+ * You only use flash to watch videos, and do not want to install a
+   non-free packages.
+
+Supported sites/embed video players:
+
+ * Youtube
+ * Blip
+ * HTML5
+ * Dailymotion
+ * NicoVideo
+ * FC2
+
+Due to some minor variations of providing the video by a same media
+provider (different version of there player, use of the embed tag) a few
+videos may not be detected.
+
+How does it works
+-----------------
+
+This extension fetch the direct link to videos using regular expression,
+XPath, and DOM. When available,  a picture and a select control are
+displayed to read the video with firefox, using the firefox internal HTML5
+compliant media player or a plugin like vlc or mplayer if the user had
+installed it.
+
+Why a HTML5 parser?
+-------------------
+
+For licensing reasons firefox do not support at the moment the H264 codec,
+although it may change in the future. If a site uses HTML5 to display a
+video, but the video itself is encoded with H264 or a variant you normally
+wont be able to play it. By using the HTML5 parser, you can read the video
+if a media player plugin is installed as stated previously.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+By default the video are detected when a page load, you can disable this
+behavior in the preference pane and manually try to detect video by
+pressing  ALT-W or Right Click and "Watch video without flash".
+
+
+Pro tips
+--------
+
+ * To view MP4 videos you must install a media plugin like vlc-web-plugin
+   or gecko-mplayer. Under Windows the vlc web plugin can be install when
+   running the vlc install exe.
+ * The video can be save with a "right click / save as" on the "open in a
+   new tab" link.
+ * Numerous options in the preference pane : select preferred format /
+   quality when available, disable modules.
+
+Known bugs
+----------
+
+(unfortunately these are 3rd party bugs, nothing upstream can do about it)
+
+ * YouTube : The video area is not reloading when clicking on a suggested
+   video link. After clicking on such a link, please use the ALT-w command to
+   refresh the player area
+
+ * VLC plugin : The video crashes when a video is paused when played with
+   the vlc web plugin.
