Here'a a weird one:
I upgraded to 9 CURRENT from RC3, installed firefox with pkg_add -r firefox. This gave me firefox 9.01 or something like it (sorry for my memory lapse as I have other thoughts and I just recall the thought of the moment) and I ran some pages from a local site I am developing; one page in particular plays videos (mp4's) and I clicked on the link and to my surprise it played fine. I had not installed flash player. So, I am wondering what could have happened.
It no longer works as I have been fixing broken port and package dbs and working on the site on another FreeBSD 8.0 machine; so much may have changed.
Is it possible, there is another video player I had used that does not use flash?
