Brendan Eich reports on his blog today that Cisco intends to license open source codecs for H.264, and Mozilla will be partnering with Cisco to get that stuff working in browsers.
"Cisco is going to release, under the BSD license, an H.264 stack, and build it into binary modules compiled for all popular or feasibly supportable platforms, which can be loaded into any application (including Firefox). The binary modules will be available for download from Cisco, and Cisco will pay for the patent license from the MPEG LA. Firefox will automatically download and install the appropriate binary module onto each user’s machine when needed, unless disabled in the user’s preferences."
