Firefox defaults to Flash, won't play HTML5, anyway to fix?

I am using the Wordpress plugin on a site I am putting together. I installed your video player and it worked well. I switched to the VimCSS skin , which works perfect in chrome. However, when I go into Firefox, it defaults to the Flash version of the player.

So I have two questions

  1. How do I make it default to the HTML 5 version in everything except the browsers that don't use it yet.
  2. Do the skins only work with the HTML5 players?

Thanks.

    You at least need an ogg version of the video for Firefox, or Webm for firefox 4+.

    The skins do only work on the html5 side so far. Working on a version that will work for both.
