I have written following html5 code in a html page for my site. 

<video controls>
	<source src="http://www.mysite.com/../videos/30frames.webm" type="video/webm"/>
</video>

When I run that page on Firefox browser (FF version:19.0, Windows XP Operating System), I see video is not playing, instead it is showing a black box 'X' on it and below the cross sign text: 'No video with supported format and MIME type found' is shown.

To solve the problem, I have tried following lines of code in .htaccess file. 

AddType video/webm .webm
## or ##
<FilesMatch "\.webm$">
  ForceType video/webm
</FilesMatch>
## or ##
<FilesMatch "\.webm$">
  DefaultType video/webm
</FilesMatch>

But none worked. Can you please help in this regard? Thanks.

That file is send as Content-Type: application/force-download

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.
