Creating a landing page for a client with embedded video. She prefers not to embed a YouTube video on her site. Is there a way I can embed an mp4 file in her site so that it will play in firefox 3.6? Now it is trying to launch quicktime, which firefox blocks due to extension instability. Thx.

If you have the latest QuickTime version then it should work.

You can also look at players like JW Player: http://www.longtailvideo.com/

You can also consider to recode the file to ogg to allow Firefox to play the file natively.
