When I looked at firefox-48.0 I discovered that it includes shipped ffmpeg
(as well as libs ogg,theora,vorbis) and has no option to use system
versions. AFAICS, it does not need system ffmpeg, but Igor asked me to
check if firefox on a system without system-ffmpeg can play h264 videos.
At the moment I don't have such a system, this ticket is a reminder for me
or anybody else to test ff48 when a suitable system is available.
Most of my videos of this type are encoded with x264, or labelled as Adva
nced Video Codec in mediainfo. I got big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov from
[http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/] and that too is
AVC, but from the name I guess it will do ? (398 MB for the 720p variant).
If successful, remove ffmpeg from the runtime dependencies in firefox.
