The above article links to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205771 where Apple itself says:
"Websites increasingly use the HTML5 web standard for a better video-playback experience across a wide range of browsers and devices, without additional software or plug-ins. Removing legacy browser plug-ins enhances the security of your PC."
...make any sense with/compared with THIS (quote) straight from my Firefox-Plugins:
"OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. 1.6
This plugin is automatically installed by Mozilla to comply with the WebRTC specification and to enable WebRTC calls with devices that require the H.264 video codec. Visit http://www.openh264.org/ to view the codec source code and learn more about the implementation."
Here´s also a link to the "The Mozilla Blog", where they embrace the Cisco´s plugin/codec.

...yet it is CISCO itself as a manufacturer who has endangered some ROUTERS (in a way that not any browser/firewall/Antivirus can not prevent/repair.
My systems: Router, WLan, Wi-Fi, Three Laptops, Three Desktops, and all the other equipment in the Wi-Fi were impacted, included with three Smartphones, three Tablets and one Smartwatch. Luckily I had not put my Pioneer AV Home theater & BluRay into utilizing the internet capabilities... But still, the total damage and costs are MASSIVE.
