Hi Raghav,
Are you actively working on this bug? If you are not, then as a matter
of etiquette, I think it would be best not to change its severity.

Can you provide specific example URLs that do not work?
Did you try installing the gst-plugins-* packages? I observed similar
behavior in the past. I believe I resolved it by installing the right
gst-plugins-* packages, which is probably one of these:
gst-plugins-base
gst-plugins-good
gst-plugins-bad
gst-plugins-ugly
You might also have to adjust some settings in about:config. I can't
remember if I did that or not. Video in IceCat generally works, but
depending on the video you might need to jump through some extra hoops
to make it happen.
