find this thread in the archives:

I didn't reread the entire thread; but I recall that the outcome was that
the downloading of that plugin has been disabled ever since.
The fedora-cisco-openh264 repo provides that in a packaged
form, so enabling the repo and installing it gets you the
plugin binary. After that you just need to enabled it in
the Firefox config. That's what I did to test.
Since I installed the package for f27 on an f28 system, I
can't be positive that it didn't work with youtube because
of that or if it wouldn't work even if it was built for f28.
I don't really care enough to dig too much. I'll try to
check it again once the f28 repos are in place.
