With the landing of Bug 1045209, starting today in Firefox Nightly builds the disk

The consequence of that is that the usage of MOZ_GMP_PATH also changed. You are now must
have a version subdirectory of your "gmp-*" directory, and put your
.dll/.dylib/.so and ..info files in there.
i.e. previously you could have:
MOZ_GMP_PATH=/home/username/src/gmp-foobar/
... and now you'll need:
MOZ_GMP_PATH=/home/username/src/gmp-foobar/some_arbitrary_version_string/
What you call the version subdir is completely arbitrary for the purposes of
using MOZ_GMP_PATH.
Was this intentional? This seems like an unfortunate side-effect of the
OpenH264-specific versioning which shouldn't have affected the GMP service at
all.
This is a side-effect of how both GMPParent & GMPChild currently depend on the
path/dir structure, i filed bug 1053727 on that earlier.
I think I still don't understand. Why did GMPParent/GMPChild change at all?
<profile>/openh264/1.0/gmp-openh264/libopenh264.so
The GMP service/parent/child just knows about
"<profile>/openh264/1.0/gmp-openh264" and doesn't need to know or care
about the versioning system that the install/update system uses.
