h.264 not supported in Firefox

No. Is there a particular reason you want h264? It's more overtly patent encumbered, and puts the web content in the hands of one owner.

Not really, but I just wanted my browser to support everything.... because when I try on my Google Chrome Portable, h.264 is supported.

I understand that Mozilla didn't want to pay 5 million annually for the license

PS: When would one really need the support for that h.264 anyway? In which situation(s)?

Wikipedia says Google is going to pull h264 from Chrome at some point in the future, and sticking with open formats. OTOH, I read that Mozilla is contemplating adding h264 support. As for me, I support open standards, and prefer them to proprietary technologies. WebM hasn't stood up in court yet, and due to our ridiculous patent system, it could end up there, but on the surface it's open.

You'd need h264 support if a website uses that as an exclusive format with html5. I haven't seen that yet, but it may exist. We're finally freeing ourselves of Flash, and imo it would be a huge mistake to lock into another proprietary format at the dawn of a new beginning.
