maherbeg: thanks!

Our team was uncertain how to reach at Amazon to get your blessing. :) If you (or Amazon management :) have any problems or concerns, please feel free to email me at cpeterson at mozilla dot com!

re HTML5 video: do you use it on desktop browsers? Mozilla is working hard to improve our HTML5 video implementation. Can we opt in Firefox for HTML5 video? Playing Flash videos in Shumway is just a stepping stone on the path to HTML5 video.

We do allow HTML5 video on Firefox for Windows. On Mac, we disallow it.

We feature detect everything but have been prioritizing Flash at the moment due to issues with Chrome and HTML5 video.

Interesting. Is HTML5 video the default on Firefox for Windows or only used when Flash is not installed? (I only have a Mac.)

Have you found specific Firefox problems with HTML5 video on Mac? Feel free to email me if you have questions for Firefox's video team about debugging or optimization. They are friendly folks. :)
