Which video codec is natively supported in Firefox 13 for streaming? I have to create a Mozilla addon which should playback a video stream. I assume that flash is not available inside of a addon?

Firefox doesn't support any streaming protocols natively. You can still send out video in WebM or Ogg Theora format over plain HTTP (like in this question) but it will be buffered and congestions will build up if the available bandwidth isn't sufficient. However, this might change soon as WebRTC support is added to Firefox.
