Switching from Chromium back to Firefox. Everything seems to work,
including YouTube and Instagram videos, but Twitter videos do not.
Here's an example Twitter video:
https://twitter.com/openbsd_br/status/860105420374933504
I see the thumbnail for the video and the play button in the middle.
When I press the play button it turns into a throbber. If I scrub
through the video I can see the individual frames, and can even drag
the mouse through the scrubber so that it looks animated (but without
audio).
The about:addons page presents one addon: "OpenH264 Video Codec provided
by Cisco Systems, Inc.". It has the message above it in yellow:
"OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. will be installed
shortly."
In about:config I have enabled media.peerconnection.video.h264_enabled .
Have others gotten Twitter videos to play in Firefox? Is there something
I've missed?
