I don't know about other Gecko-based browsers, but Firefox and its
derivatives have supported h.264 via libraries available on the system for a
while.

I think it's still supported, but only if the video uploader enables it,
which requires foregoing advertising, so in practice it isn't (I'm not aware
of anyone who uploads to blip.tv without enabling advertisements). More
precisely, if you request the video in a way that doesn't look to them like
the Flash-based video player, they send you a short video saying the video
can only viewed on the "Blip player" instead of the video you want. The good
news is video players like Totem and VLC look like the Flash-based player to
them, so they will send you the video if you use one of those (most
conveniently, with ViewTube and the Quicktime-compatible Totem plugin).
