Firefox is implementing media source extensions, which is required for VP9
in YouTube and probably in other websites.
What Firefox has in the future is not relevant now. It will also be
interesting to see what the MPEG-consortium does with the DASH licensing (I've
read some news about them considering taking money for it) which youtube use
in combination with the VP9 video streaming. This could prevent Firefox from
getting VP9 for quite some time, at least for smooth youtube streaming.

I didn't understand what you are trying to say.
If you don't write web pages that use the exact number of things that FF
support as opposed to e.g Chrome, then it will not work in FF.
