Does Firefox 4 Beta 3 for Android and Maemo support WEBM?
I've been reading the "Firefox 4 Beta 3 for Android and Maemo Release Notes" at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/4.0b3/releasenotes/
I noticed in the "What's New in this Firefox 4 Beta" section that next to * Video it says "Full-screen open video". Is this OGG only, or is WEBM also supported? If not, is it planned to be added before the final release?

Firefox 4 beta 3 for Android and Maemo supports both WebM and Ogg Theora video.
Interesting. I note that your profile says "I work for Mozilla as a developer on the Mobile Firefox team."
Are you able to offer any advice as to what went wrong for the person nicknamed geeknik whom I consulted on IRC? They reported the following:
"I just installed the latest Fennec 4.0b4pre build on my Droid X. I just tried http://vimeo.com/16131257 (WebM test video) and it doesn't work."
That is a video about WebM, but it is not in WebM format. It uses an Adobe Flash player. (You can see this by loading it in desktop Firefox and right-clicking on the player.) Vimeo also has an HTML5 player, but it includes only the H.264 format supported by Chrome and Safari.
To find WebM videos that play in mobile Firefox, you can join the YouTube HTML5 Trial by clicking the link at the bottom of http://www.youtube.com/html5 and then search for WebM videos: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bunny&webm=1
OK, thanks. I'm aware of the YouTube HTML5 trial but don't actually have a phone capable of running mobile Firefox. I'll probably install the latest beta of desktop Firefox 4.0 soon though.
