I am using Firefox 5.0 and I cannot get webm to play. My ogg file (.ogv) will play. I have updated Apache with the webm type. I have tested this on my local server, my remote hosts and I can only get the ogv file to play. I have tested the webm file on Chrome and Opera and it plays correctly. If I remember correctly, Firefox played webm prior to the 5.0 upgrade? Any feedback would be helpful.

A good place to ask questions and advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.

You're welcome

Make sure that the server sends the files with a supported MIME (content) type.
