That would make firefox inconsistent for different users that don't have the codec installed and it would make it look bad. Imagine passing a link to a friend that is not able to read it because of lack of codec, he'd blame it on firefox. S

You don't read the news or blogs? There's not a single day without an article questioning Google evilness when it comes to our data. I never see any about Yahoo.
