Per an offline discussion with Maire - Open H264 should be removed from FxOS 1.4 tracking, so I'm removing this from the 1.4 tracking bug.

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated) [Why is this notable]: [Suggested wording]: [Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]:

Added in the 33 release notes with the wording "OpenH264 support" Is there some documentations or a blog post on it? By the way, is that available also for Android?

Yes, there was a blog post: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2013/10/30/video-interoperability-on-the-web-gets-a-boost-from-ciscos-h-264-codec/ Also check out: http://www.openh264.org/ > By the way, is that available also for Android? It's Desktop only. We could deploy it to Android at some point in the future, but that's not on the roadmap.

OK. Are you planning to write something more recent for the 33 release? Thanks for the information.
(In reply to Sylvestre Ledru [:sylvestre] from comment #7) > OK. Are you planning to write something more recent for the 33 release? I'm not sure if we want/need to. I just sent an email to the folks preparing the Fx 33 Aurora blog post and cc'd you.

Target Milestone: mozilla33 → mozilla34
OpenH264 will be going out in Fx33 with further improvements/enhancements coming in Fx 34. I'll likely create a new meta bug for Fx34 and definitely keep this meta targeted at Fx 33.

The binary plugin is downloaded in safe mode, I don't think this is expected. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1105990
I vote for making the download of the binary plugin * on-demand * after user confirmation It is not universally required and frequent bandwidth waste, has license terms different from main product. Too many users notice the download only by accident.
