YouTube has started it's new beta for Flash free HTML5 video support. Firefox however, does not support the required video codec. Given the patent holders for h.264 have said that they'll license it free until at least 2016 there's not good reason to not support it.

Reproducible: Always

Actually, it does.  See http://www.webmproject.org/

There is.  H.264 is not licensed free to content _consumers_.  It's licensed free to web broadcasters until 2016, but viewing it is not free.  I really suggest reading up on the issues here; much ink has been spilled on them.

Too late. I've just switched to Safari. I'm in the process of switching our department over. Good luck in the future.
