As far as I know, Fluendo actually does sell a H.264 decoder for GStreamer 
(which is the framework Firefox is going to use), but unlike the MP3 one:
* its copyright license is proprietary (the Fluendo MP3 decoder is BSD-
licensed and only the patent license restricts your freedom) and
* it costs money.

Those issues make it not an attractive option for most people compared to 
gstreamer-plugins-ugly. :-)
