Firefox maybe could use x264 (h264) from VideoLan if this would be possible, many projects are using this already.

Firefox doesnt support h264 yet and i wondered, if it is possible to integrate h264 from VideoLan. Gstreamer can play h264 aswell. It would be really nice if something like this can be done! And if not, then maybe make the same as Opera: http://my.opera.com/haavard/blog/2010/03/16/microsoft-letter and ask microosoft to use Theora, then Youtube maybe would use theora instead of the h264 in the new HTML5 Version...
