Firefox Gains Support for VP9 Video Codec

Posted by Unknown on from the death-to-mpeg dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With the latest Firefox nightly builds the VP9 video codec is enabled by default. VP9 is a step ahead of the open-source VP8 codec but up to now has only been supported by the Chrome browser. VP9 support will officially appear in Firefox 28."

    Off topic, but Firefox supports animated PNG files, IE 11 and the latest Chrome do not.

    Thank you. I don't think 'cosmonaut' is the right word, though. The Golden Girls were in America, so it was probably astronaut.
