[Cialug] Firefox 42 & mp4

Recently upgraded my main laptop to 42.1 [SuSE], and find that there is an
issue with Firefox and mp4s. The HTML5 video element loads, shows the
first frame, but when [play] is selected the wait icon appears and nothing
ever happens.

Has anyone experienced this sort of problem? There are tons of notes
online, and most seem to state that Firefox only supports a small subset
of mp4 formats, ..

The weird part is that they play just with VLC, so the decoders are
installed on the system.
