Running XFCE here, it doesn't work.
My wife's puter has much older version of FF (thanks, Linux Mint!) with
no HTML5 support as near as I can tell. When she watches vids, they're
all in Flash format.
I don't think it's FF per se, it's the video driver being used by the
particular machine. Some support HTML5, some don't. Even true (I
understand) on Windows, but to a much lesser extent.

After thinking about this and seeing a few messages about it working
on FF ... I did a few tests.
1. On my wife's computer running xfce it works just fine. So, it's not FF
2. Logged in as "Guest" on my box. This is Ubuntu 12.04. As guest it
works just fine. So, it's not FF and it's not the flash plug in either
since I'd be using the same version.
3. Back to my home and I tried some things with FF. Ran in "safe mode"
and then tried using a new profile. Neither works.
So, darned if I have any more ideas ... and here I thought it was
something silly TED was doing :)

Doesn't play here on Debian Sid Linux with Firefox 22. Displays message:
" It appears that we are unable to play this video in your browser for one
of the following reasons:

you have an old version of the Adobe Flash Player. Download the latest
Flash player to view this video."
IIRC, HMTL5 video support is very dependent on video drivers: one great
disadvantage compared to good old proprietary Flash.
Well, downloaded the MP4 and tried to play it, and it won't play. Rather, it
plays, but there's no sound and no video. Deleted it and tried again, and
now mplayer plays it.
They're pretty damn good.

Sort of off topic ... but is anyone getting TED videos to play on
Linux with Firefox?
