Hey how did you get this working in firefox?

[anfibiacreativa]

If this is not working for you on some browsers, make sure the server where your website is at has the right MIME-Type for them or the server will be serving the ogg ogv or webm files as text and thats the issue.

yeah, what he said, and also, firefox is quite picky about the video, itself. Try and see if it works with the bundled videos first. If it does, then try encoding your videos with handbrake.
Good luck!

It was a video encoding issue. Used handbrake and http://www.firefogg.org/ to get it working in Firefox. Thank you guys!

It seems that a lot of people are having this problem, including myself.
Would be great if someone could provide some detailed instructions on how to fix this issue for current and future users.

I have managed to slightly overcome the issue by adding the MIME types to my .htaccess file by using the following code. Although, this only enables the bundled/included videos to work. My converted video types are still refusing to work in Firefox. I tried using Miro Video Converter (worked great for IE, Chrome and Opera), although it refused to allow the videos to run on Firefox. Does anyone have a decent converter (preferably free) for ogg/ogv and webm files?
Used this free video converter to convert my mp4 file top webm and it worked successfully on Firefox (although, still no luck with Safari 5.1.7 on Windows 7 Pro 64bit) - http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-WebM-Video-Converter.htm
