Look at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/DeliveryMeetings/2010-06-09 – “Firefox 3.5.11 / Firefox 3.6.6″. Here it says “WebM discussion will likely happen shortly”.

The only interpretation that makes sense to me is that it refers to the discussion whether WebM will be backported to 3.6. And I think there are good reasons in favor of backporting, so I’m optimistic to see it happen.

Even though I do use nightly and beta versions, I use the current product release for my default/primary browser so I agree with antistress’s “Too bad” comment.

I thought that Mozilla was going to start pushing through new features in updates.
Besides, it would help to make up for Theora being a flop.

Too bad. I still hope it will be backported to the 3.6 branch
