OpenH264 codec NOT installing
I just installed Firefox 45.0.1.
Under Add Ons - Plugins, it shows "OpenH264 video codec.... will be installed shortly"
Well, it NEVER installs.
I tried toggling "media.peerconnection.video.h264_enabled" and restarted Firefox as suggested elsewhere as a fix. Still no luck.
Any ideas for a fix?

hi rob, the OpenH264 download will run over mozilla's update servers, where afaik updates are currently turned off while a problem is investigated and addressed there, so it would be expected that the plugin won't install at the moment. please try again a little bit later & sorry for the inconvenience...

Thanks for the quick reply. I will wait a few days. Hopefully it will be fixed by then.
Here is an update. A day later, the OpenH264 video codec. has still not downloaded on a fresh install of Firefox on a fresh install of El Capitan on a Mac Pro.
Is Firefox still having problems with its servers?
yes, issues with the update infrastructure are still ongoing unfortunately.
can you try again? it works for me now...
Trying now....
And success. Firefox now shows the OpenH264 video codec as downloaded and installed.
Thanks for all your help.
