HTTP/2 for Firefox is currently under development.
HTTP/2 draft support is included in routine builds of firefox, but is disabled enabled by defaultin firefox 34 and later. <b>To get the most up to date support you should use the nightly channel</b>.
To enable, go to about:config in the location bar and set network.http.spdy.enabled.http2draft and security.ssl.enable_alpn to true The current implementation is of draft-13 14 with compression-08 09 [june 27 august 6 nightly]
Firefox will only be implementing HTTP/2 over TLS - and so far that means for https:// schemed URLs (see below for http:// with TLS support). It does enforce the protocol's >= TLS 1.2 requirement - if a server negotiates HTTP/2 with a lower TLS version it is treated as a protocol error. (there is a preference for changing that for testing purposes if you need it.)
feedback of any sort welcomed to pmcmanus@mozilla.com and hurley@mozilla.com
 
There is an incredibly lightly tested, unreviewed implementation of draft-14 with compression-09 available for download at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/hurley@todesschaf.org-0a058da6b577/
There is a separate, more experimental, build available that supports HTTP/2 draft-12 for http:// URIs using Alternate-Services (-01) and the "h2-12" profile. Sometimes this is known as opportunistic encryption. This allows HTTP/2 over TLS for http:// URIs in some cases without verification of the SSL certificate. It also allows spdy/3 and spdy/3.1 for http:// URIs using the same mechanism.
That code is at https://hg.mozilla.org/try/rev/3d48401236e4 and https://github.com/mcmanus/gecko-dev/tree/oe10 with downloads at https://ftp-ssl.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/mcmanus@ducksong.com-3d48401236e4
