Running v 60.2.1esr (64-bit) "Mozilla Firefox for Red Hat Enterprise Linux" on Scientific Linux 7.5 (distro from Fermi Labs based on RHEL). All extensions and plugins are disabled (have tried enabled & disabled with same result).
Videos all run great on my Ubuntu 16.04LTS box with Firefox 62.0.3 (64-bit) "Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu" with the same plugins + "Shockwave Flash (Ask to Activate)."
Frustrating. Anyone have any ideas? TIA Ric

FFmpeg as Firefox on Linux has not used Gstreamer since Firefox 46.0 and later. Bug#1234092. The Ubuntu restricted extras is a way to install FFmpeg if using Ubuntu or a flavor of ubuntu yes.

- media.mediasource.mp4 > TRUE.
- media.webm.enabled > try FLASE or TRUE.

"media.wmf.enabled" setting does not exist. The others are as specified. The gstreamer ffmpeg plugins are installed. The Mozilla pages were not helpful.

Got FFmpeg rpm package installed, (running a derivative of Red Hat, not Ubuntu) and the problem seems to be solved. Thanks to all.
