> Mac OS X: Implemented a subset of the Media Source Extensions (MSE) API to allow native HTML5 playback on YouTube HTML5

> Implemented Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) API to support encrypted HTML5 video/audio playback (Windows Vista or later only) HTML5

> Automatically download Adobe Primetime Content Decryption Module (CDM) for DRM playback through EME (Windows Vista or later only)

:( Notice which OSes are left off the list. I don't blame Mozilla as they were just following inevitability but it's a sad day for the web as there's now a lot of content that, by design of W3C, only works on certain OSes.

Of course the EME champions promised us that this wouldn't happen and they are apparently silent for the moment.
