M4b is a format usually used for Audio Books. This commit adds support for testing for that format.

Do any browsers currently have support for this?

Works fine in Chrome and Firefox.

They both return no support for me. I'm not familiar with this format, does it require something to be installed to add support on a system?

It's simply a container for mp4 audio with bookmarks for audiobooks. For the browser with no specific support for m4b, it's exactly the same at any other mp4 file or m4a for that matter.

Patented media

MP3, AAC, and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC are patented audio/video compression formats. They can be viewed in Firefox using built-in OS libraries (so neither Mozilla nor you need to pay a fee) if embedded in the MP4 container format (.mp4, .m4a, .m4p, .m4b, .m4r, .m4v file types).
