It should work, but I haven't tested it recently. There is support for
gecko-media-player JavaScript API in Linterna Mágica, so web controls
could work.

Have in mind that I have experienced problems with two or more video
plugins handling the same mimetype - clips doesn't load and/or the
browser reports wrong plugin that handles the mimetype. As far as I
remember in all browsers. My solution is to uninstall video plugins that
are not needed. There is a trick with Totem (totem-mozilla). You can't
simply remove the package, because it is a ... core dependency in
Trisquel and you will loose the packages for the entire desktop
environment. So, I am fixing that problem by manually removing the
libtotem* files in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/:

sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libtotem*

Kind of ugly but it works. After browser restart other video plugins
should work. Fixing totem-mozilla later is achieved by:

aptitude reinstall totem-mozilla

which will add the deleted files.

Thanks for the reply ivaylo.

I'm actually trying this on Parabola GNU/Linux libre. Removing totem-plugin there and installing gecko-mediaplayer gives a waiting for plugin error when using Midori and Epiphany. It might however be related to this bug:

I opened a bug in Parabola about this issue:
