i wanted to know that for the latest version of mozilla what are the file formats that can be opened in mozilla without any third party plugins or tools? The support page tells me the audio and video formats https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/html5-audio-and-video-firefox#w_supported-formats . Is that all?

See:

Note that you need to have native support in the operating system to be able to play media files because Firefox doesn't come with codecs.
