Well, I did verify that even the FF

I don't believe that this is an issue with required plugins at
this point. As a new example, the video in
https://www.iceni.com/transpdf.htm (screenshot
https://pasteboard.co/JjDtMduG.png), does not load in my Firefox.
However, using the developer tools in Firefox, I downloaded the
embedded video (.mp4) from the link I saw in the Inspector. I was
able to play this downloaded video in the default video player in
Fedora with Gnome.
So I would appreciate if someone tells me if this means that this
is not a codec issue, but maybe some permissions issue or
something else thats happening with Firefox,
thank you!
Plays fine here on a Virtual Machine and FF to which only the
open264 plugin was installed/enabled and
ffmpeg was installed. The VM is pretty much standard Fedora 32 with
no additional video stuff installed.
Disabling the open264 plugin has no effect. The video plays fine.
