Firefox ESR 31.6 appears to have some sort of video codec builtin as I am now 
plagued by video ads.  I've always had flash and java disabled for security and 
bandwidth reasons.  Firefox claims I don't have any addons.


This is HTML5 builtin video support for WEBM/OPUS/OGG/VP8/VP9 .
You can switch that off via about:config, search for
media, and disable media.webm.enabled, media.ogg.enabled,
media.opus.enabled, and media.webvtt.enabled.

Hello,


Yesterday I realized that there is a new plugin for firefox the openh264 plugin.
I tried to compile it and with a few tricks I managed to compile it and to
create the plugin. I tried the installation instructions for Fedora

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenH264

but the plugin does not work. I am using Firefox ESR 38.2.1

Is it possible that the Firefox build has disabled support for
openh264?



And have a look at the first answer on this page:

so if you could compile and distribute it yourself,
you have to pay for the license.

This is the wrong path into vendor lock in and
has nothing to do with free software.

H264 in firefox is not as free as you suppose it to be:



So you can't simply compile that, and I presume that the
Cisco binary is platform dependent, and they certainly
won't compile an OI/Solaris binary for you. And, even if
they would, currently it isn't used for videos, but only
for WebRTC in firefox, so still no high resolution in
youtube and elsewhere. Since flash does not work with the
new firefox 38.x (Sun binary), firefox on OI will be crippled
for the foreseeable future.
