Since the use of certain audio and video file types is restricted by patents, a third-party application is required to use them. Firefox, however, is able to play natively open media and some types of patented media.

Open media

Firefox can play the WAVcontainer format (.wav, .wave file types) containing uncompressed audio in PCM at 8 or 16 bits per sample.

Mp4

Vorbis audio, Opus audio, Theora video, and VP8 video are free audio/video compression formats for use without patent restrictions. They can be viewed in Firefox if they are embedded in the following container formats: Ogg (.ogg, .oga, .ogv, .ogx, .spx, .opus file types) or WebM (.webm file type).

Firefox also supports FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) playback (.flac file type) and MP3 playback (.mp3 file type).

Patented media

AAC and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC are patented audio/video compression formats. They can be viewed in Firefox using built-in OS libraries (so neither Mozilla nor you need to pay a fee) if embedded in the MP4container format (.mp4, .m4a, .m4p, .m4b, .m4r, .m4v file types).

Firefox supports WebM/VP9 video on systems that don't support MP4/H.264.

Tip: In order to test your system, some sample video files are available in the “Video For Everybody” Test Page at camendesign.com.
