This one I just don't understand because, ostensibly, your argument is that you have to down-code for browsers that don't support new features yet, but this is a feature that rapid-release browsers support that others didn't for a long time... It's also a trivial rendering issue and doesn't break anything if not working.
Yes, the codec problem seems specific. Most web video is handled by Flash, not the browser itself. If you're using it, you're trying "cutting edge" stuff which I thought is what you were saying isn't important to have...
And the Flash/Java issue you mentioned happened in an "LTS" release, which means that it's specifically the version of Firefox that does (supposedly) get adequate QA before release because it's only updated about once a year, with the goal of it being more stable. So it seems this kind of thing is just as likely to happen either way.

I'm not saying these things didn't happen or weren't reported by others, I'm just saying that the things that apparently happen frequently for you due to rapid-release have almost no effect on the greater internet. It seems like you're saying it's something that's bad for everyone, when really it seems it's just pretty crappy for your situation. In reality, rapid release is by far a net positive.
