It seems clear that there is a bug somewhere, but I cannot decide,
where, hence this post to devel. Should Fedora's Firefox actually have
media.ffmpeg.enabled set to false by default, because Fedora's variant
of ffmpeg has this problem? Should upstream Firefox be smarted about
which decoder library it attempts to use? Or should ffmpeg-free package
do something to avoid this from happening. Any opinions are welcome!

Only the developers will be able to tell you for sure, but I would start with a Firefox bug report. That's the place where code changes are most likely to be required, and the Firefox developers can always punt the bug to ffmpeg if they think it is doing something wrong.

Our ffmpeg-free is supposed to support H264 via OpenH264.

P.S. Vitaly, your suggestions to enable rpmfusion are not helpful for inexperienced Fedora users, who expect multimedia to work out-of-the-box. Common multimedia needs like "play a video" absolutely need to work without rpmfusion, and we need Fedora developers testing this to make sure it works.
