--- Comment #26 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanza@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
The only goal here is "Automatically install the OpenH264 codecs"
https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/84

Once mozilla-openh264 is installed, there is no problem. The problem is
figuring out how to make sure it gets installed automatically, without the user
having to install it manually.

We have previously tried:

Recommends: mozilla-openh264

but this did not work. So our next plan was to build mozilla-openh264 against
noopenh264, so we can install mozilla-openh264 by default instead of relegating
it to the separate Cisco repository. All of this is unnecessary if we have some
other way to install it. I think this should work

Requires: mozilla-openh264 if openh264

We could probably have closed this bug 5.5 years ago had we considered this....

Anyway, can you try adding this Requires to the Firefox package? If it works,
then we can close this package review request and don't have to figure out how
to relax the sandbox rules.

(In reply to Martin Stransky from comment #25)
> Yes, GMP sandbox has to be enabled and we can't modify it.

I certainly won't propose disabling the sandbox, but blocking the plugin from
loading shared libraries is excessively strict. There's almost no security
benefit to that, anyway.
