"pride goeth before a a fall"

It was just a few years ago that Mozilla though so highly of themselves that they thought they could use their market position to force the world to change from h.264 to VP3 (with hopes that Google would gift the world VP8 later on).

They failed at reading the situation then, and are failing again now.

The world wasn't using h.264, it was being forced to move to h.264, and Mozilla eventually caved, like they're caving now.
