I've been running pre-release versions of FF3.5 for a while now and it
has some neat stuff for us web developers too, like the <video> tag,
faster javascript, @font-face support (which now works in Firefox and
Safari, and I believe Chrome too).

wrl to video: this website lists a way of embedding video on websites
without javascript in a way that works for everybody, choosing the
solution that sucks less first:

The only drawback is that you have to encode your video in a couple of
different formats (which is relatively trivial with handbrake or plain
ffmpeg).
