20% of the browser market was never going to adopt H.264. That's a fifth of the market cut out from using <video> entirely.

20% and dropping... Should we also stop the <video> train in its tracks because IE6 does not support it?

All lists for browser share that I have seen show FF as having either plateaued or started to drop by small percentages. If you add mobile browsers into the mix then even the plateau becomes a small drop.

And you really think that going to continue once Firefox 4 and Firefox for Android are released? Firefox is going to be relevant for a long while, so comparing it to IE6 is pretty disingenuous.
