Important notes when using Firefox browser
Patented media MP3, AAC, and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC are patented audio/video compression formats.
They can be viewed in Firefox using built-in OS libraries if embedded in the MP4 container format (.mp4, .m4a, .m4p, .m4b, .m4r, .m4v file types).
How to play patented audio/video compression formats with FireFox browser and Ubuntu
- With a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04, Firefox can not play mp4 streams. However, it can play videos using other container standards using the following file extensions: webm and ogg
- In the terminal, run ‘sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras’ and accept all licenses etc.
- With no other changes, i.e. no flag setting etc, Firefox can now play the test mp4 stream
Let’s test that all working
