Hello!
First of all, I was surprised by the ability of html5 video support in
google chrome while it is absent in FireFox. I run
FireFox-3.5.12-1.fc12.i686. However this page [1] states
that~\cite{Firefox 3.5 introduced support for the HTML 5 <audio>  and
<video>  elements, offering the ability to easily embed media into
HTML documents.} But I'm unable to play html5 video on YouTube using
FireFox :-(
Second, I even didn't know there's a possibility of switching to html5
format on YouTube [2]! Probably I have to read docs a bit more [3]!
And the last, but not the least. I have no such problem with google
chrome (google-chrome-stable-6.0.472.63-59945.i386, installed form
google repo). I also have this package installed:
gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.10-1.fc12.1.i686
Hope that helps!
P.S. The video you've posted is a bit provocative! I was really
annoyed with this bullshit micro$oft promotional.
