Only partially. Firefox supports only Google's WEBM video codec for
political reasons, completely ignoring the major one - H.264 (sure,
there is Ogg Theora too, but nobody uses that). So Firefox's usefulness
on HTML5 video is at this moment very limited.

I picked Epiphany in my example as it uses gstreamer backend for HTML5
video and thus plays everything that gstreamer has codecs for, which is
basically everything.
