Excellent news! Let's hope other browsers will follow suit.

Even if they don't, if enough people use Ogg for their video/audio in HTML,
this will provide an (even stronger than current) incentive for people not
using Firefox to start doing so.

(NB. I don't work for Mozilla. I *do* use whichever of the "big four"
browsers seems most suited to the browsing session I anticipate each time I
use the web, so I effectively have my own private market share analysis
going on here :)
