FireFox does not support MP4 video natively. You will need to use flash to play MP4s in FireFox. JWPlayer and VideoJS are two good videoplayers with Flash fallback.

To be able to play video in ALL browsers, in my experience, you will need mp4 AND webm or ogv formats.

H.264 is MP4.

Try using the <video> tag.

You can find Mozzila documentation for playing media here.
