Does Firefox 8 Support mp4?
Does Firefox 8 (win/64) Support mp4?
I cannot find any mention on MDN of support for mp4 AND it's not playing mp4 files locally on server.
Please advise.

Firefox does not support the mp3/mp4 technologies, as aspects of them are licensed.
See the 'official' support list for Firefox here: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Media_formats_supported_by_the_audio_and_video_elements
More about why Firefox avoids it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing_and_patent_issues
