Sorry for the confusion - there are no new beta builds for 30 yet, so they are still for 29. They should be coming up soon though, maybe check on it again later.

On Windows, this will be fixed in Firefox 30 (the next release, currently in beta). In the mean-time there are apparently workarounds.

For Mac OS X & Linux however, this is not fixed yet.

Thank for your reply. But, I can't use firefox beta, so I use Firefox Aurora.

I can't because when I install firefox beta, I'm looking in option for to see the version of firefox, I read "You use the beta channel", but firefox download a new version, automatically, and it ask me to reboot firefox for apply the new version. When I restart, the message who says that "You use the beta channel" has missing, and the version is always "29.0". I don't know if I use really firefox beta or not, but when I test with the youtuble video HTML5, It doesn't work, the screensaver is always here. Then, I use Firefox Aurora for the moment. Thanks, and again, sorry for my english.
