Firefox 4 Beta 4, which results released Monday include Direct2D acceleration support, unfortunately however, a few technical problems have prevented you from being “in” for a platorm default.According Mozilla wiki, although the code to enable 2D acceleration – it takes the effort to represent graphic objects away from the CPU, promising a better overall performance in graphics-or JavaScript-heavy sites – is part of the latest beta version, is disabled by default because the team did not feel confident enough to “turn that over all users.”

suggests that the browser not to load all this means until the user performs the action. The browser takes any network traffic needed to load the material until the users try to play the resource or explicitly load the resource. I suggest using this value of preload attribute along with the posters, where it is unlikely that the user will play the action. This is probably more useful in a mobile environment where data can be expensive.
