I have my html5 web page perfectly working in firefox, but this page:

http://www.apple.com/html5/showcase/video/

Apple demo, do not work at all in openSUSE firefox.

Is this another Apple goddie or is there any free solution? Safari do
not seems to exist for Linux and I would like to have my page work on
iphone too
Apple is evil!

The above site you mentioned does add a layer above the video for
Firefox users by intention to hide the actual video running behind it.

The video is offered in three formats (MP4, WebM, Quicktime) in that
order and therefore can play in Firefox but the dynamic code of the site
hides the video from you to make you use Safari.

Is there a way to overcome this?

If it can be applied by Apple then it presumably can be applied by others.

While further testing for something similar I found that this Apple demo
site is horribly broken in favour of Safari :-(

At first glance it looks basically correct and should work in Firefox as
well as it includes a link to a WebM video. But then again they are
hiding the video container for Firefox users (probably not by intention
though) because their webserver is returning the WebM video as
text/plain which makes it unusable by Firefox :-(

The reason why on my system I could just override the display:none for
the video container and see (and hear) a running video nevertheless is
because I'm running our Aurora 14 Firefox build which is able support
H.264 if setup correctly.

So now it's not clear if Apple intentionally broke Firefox or if they
just screwed up setting up their WebM stuff correctly. Probably the
latter and they don't care because of the former?
