Amazon Instant Video & HTML5
It seems that in FIrefox (and IE) I can only use SIlverlight to view Amazon Instant VIdeo, whereas in Chrome it uses Amazon's new HTML5 player.
Vetusta morla conciertos. In Chrome I had to install a DRM Plugin (Widevine CDM) so I installed the same in Firefox from their website but still with no joy. I don't want to use the Silverlight Player but it seems that Amazon's site is forcing Silverlight as even if I disable the plugin it says to install it.
Anyone got any ideas as to why I can't use Amazon's HTML5 Player? Both FF and Chrome have HTML5 DRM Support and YouTube's HTML5 player works just fine in FF.
I'm accustomed to using the FlashBlock plugin to disable those annoying advertisements that play automatically, but I'm unaware of any available plugin that accomplishes the same thing with WebM content. Any suggestions?

I decided to kill HTML5 totally in my Firefox, until flashblock supports it;and I'm trying to bribe the flashblock developers with my hard-earned cash..

You could also use media.autoplay.enabled = false by itself,but Youtube cheats its way around that, so need this add-on too:
See also: http://rubenerd.com/noscript-html5/ but I think noscript permanently disables the videos, no click-to-play; can only white-list the whole site.
I have written an answer for this that should apply to all videos. It's basically a native feature available in Firefox Nightly (but also hopefully in the stable channel soon).
