Firefox 10 wont play webm videos. What am I doing wrong?

I have a small webm video that plays fine in Chrome, but not firefox. here is my html:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
    <title>html5 video</title>
</head>
<body>
    <video  controls="controls">
    <source  type="video/webm" src="file.webm" type='video/webm; codecs="vp80, vorbis"'/>
    Your browser cannot play this
    </video>
    <a href="file.webm">Download</a>
</body>
</html>

I read somewhere that to get firefox to play webm, the .htaccess file need to be appended with this:

AddType video/webm .webm

So far nothing. If I drag the file into firefox it plays fine. This is the codec used according to VLC 

Google/On2's VP8 Video (VP8)

What am I doing wrong here?

As discussed in the comments, the problem was an improperly configured web server. Following the instructions here and then rebooting all webm videos play fine in firefox.
