mozilla-openh264 2.3.1 distro packages download distro-made gmp-openh264 binaries from Cisco. It's not worse if Firefox would it do instead.
That would relieve distros from their packaging burden of mozilla-openh264.

* bug 1827333 should ship 2.3.2 to all Firefox 114+ Linux users now. Fedora([x86_64](https://codecs.fedoraproject.org/openh264/39/x86_64/os/Packages/m/),[i386](https://codecs.fedoraproject.org/openh264/39/i386/os/Packages/m/),[aarch64](https://codecs.fedoraproject.org/openh264/39/aarch64/os/Packages/m/),[ppc64le](https://codecs.fedoraproject.org/openh264/39/ppc64le/os/Packages/m/),[s390x](https://codecs.fedoraproject.org/openh264/39/s390x/os/Packages/m/)),[OpenSuse](https://codecs.opensuse.org/openh264/),[Gentoo](https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/tree/master/media-libs/openh264) already have 2.3.1. [Flatpak](https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/blob/master/include/repo_branches.yml#L7) has 2.2.0.
* bug 1766638: Update GMP plugins right after startup (at least on MOZ_WIDGET_GTK).
* Uplift a pref to ignore the MOZ_GMP_PATH env var by default.
* bug 1827453: Uplift media.gmp.decoder.enabled=true for MOZ_WIDGET_GTK because distros are already shipping it. If it's not enabled, decoding would fail due to missing decoder.
* **this bug/Flatpak**: Stop using openh264 via ffmpeg [noopenh264](https://github.com/endlessm/noopenh264) adapter. It has been affected by the seeking bug as well (bug 1670333 comment 26).

That would solve bug 1831342 and be a long-term fix at the same time.
