Hi,
just wanted to say that I'm also using Firefox on Linux and the ogg file you mentioned spawned the Helix player on mine and I actually saw the video.
That's all

I was about to write a mail asking you where in the world there's a video file on that page, but after about 10 minutes of looking and mouseovering every single link, I finally figured out that the .ogg file on that page is actually a video file. Even using Mozilla Firefox on Linux, clicking on the link spawned my audio player, due to the .ogg extension, which in typical use means "Ogg Vorbis audio file".
.ogm (for "Ogg Media") is a de-facto standard extension for Ogg files containing video, but I'm not aware of whether Xiph.org has a position on that.
I'm not sure whether sending the right content-type headers would fix the problem; perhaps it would? At the very least, it should say on the page that this is in fact a video file, rather than hoping that people will be able to infer that it's supposed to be a video file...
