You really can't.  Firefox uses Ogg/Theora which doesn't do H.264
because H.264 requires YAFP (yet another f*cking proprietary) codec.
Can you say "MP3"?

Your best option, really, is to use Chrome or Chromium as your
browser.  They have the codec bundled in.  Firefox and Ogg/Theora are
committed to open source and open standards and probably won't support
H.264 in the foreseeable future.  Pity.
