Firefox, to open the video, but not the video you want

The good news is that the popular Mozilla Firefox browser is replaced by video support. The bad news is that you probably would not notice.

Why? As the video codec, which comes to Firefox is not normally used: Ogg Theora. Firefox also adds new HTML tag to facilitate the inclusion of video – no longer need to implement JavaScript, – but once again the video codec is not ubiquitous QuickTime, Windows Media, Flash or with the people.

This is not the fault of Mozilla, of course. This is not to support low-key and the key codecs. And, of course, this does not change the fact that freedom of plug-ins for Firefox allows you to play popular codecs will continue. This is not as if the video is still Firefox (well, except that I have Internet Explorer for Windows Media encoding Arsenal preseason games – not a reduction Firefox).

Not only means that you do not need a plug-Theora content of the game. But it is necessary? Most people do not use Ogg Theora. If they are or not is irrelevant. I prefer to see Adobe, Microsoft and Apple, to open its codecs make Firefox also Ogg Theora. But I think this is only an offer ….
