FF Video Element Properties - more info please

[jsbiff]

Hello,

So, I installed FF 3.5 today. On first opening it, the welcome to
Firefox page has a short embedded video to highlight the new built-in
video support in FF 3.5. After starting playing it, I paused the
video, then right-clicked on the video, and selected "Properties". I
was expecting a window with some technical info, including the URL of
the video, maybe the native resolution of the stream, the container
type (Ogg, I believe, in this case), perhaps video codec (Vorbis, I
think, in this particular example), maybe tech info like the bitrate,
and perhaps meta-data like creation date, copyright info, author, etc
that might be embedded in the video data.

All I *actually* got was a 'text language' property. What the heck?
Mozilla has always, in the past, done a good job of displaying useful
info about elements (like images, for example), when you select
properties for that element. Please provide more/better info in the
properties of a video element.

Bad news. Because that window was (obviously) so badly maintained,
Firefox is dropping it completely.
