System: NetBSD johannes 10.0 NetBSD 10.0 (GENERIC) #0: Thu Mar 28 08:33:33 UTC 2024 mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
Description:
	I have used firefox on NetBSD many times to watch videos on
	Invidious and recently it has stopped working. I am unsure as to
	when this issue started as it has been a couple months since I've
	watched a video there. When I attempt to watch a video, an error
	will show at the top of firefox that reads: "To play video, you may
	need to install the require video codecs." Also, if I go to the
	plugins (typing about:addons in address bar) it shows that the
	OpenH264 Video Codec is enabled but (in yellow) it reads: "OpenH264
	Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. will be installed
	shortly." However, nothing is installed ever.

	I've attempted to install multimedia/openh264 but no dice. I'm not
	entirely sure but it may related to webrtc as OpenH264 has something
	to do with it.
How-To-Repeat:
	Go to any Invidious instance and attempt to watch a video using the
	a current www/firefox build. https://vid.puffyan.us/ is the one I
	use most often.
