Description

At the moment, it looks like content within the <video> tag is not showing up in Firefox 2. We want to be able to gracefully degrade to a Flash or Quicktime video in cases where HTML 5 isn't available.

This should also include the removal of the pure HTML controller if <video> isn't supported.

    Fixed in r7893 by doing a feature check for the presence of the HTMLMediaElement object and bailing if it's not found.
