Hello guys I have this problem with the H264. My add-on window in the Mozilla Firefox always shows the H264 plugin will be installed shortly message. When i try to update it then two files get downloaded. One is gmp-**.dll and another is a .info file. I don't know what to do with them.

Thanks

There's nothing to do with them. It's a new plugin to handle h-264 video files. If you have another h-264 codec installed that you would rather use, just disable that Cisco THAT Open h-264 codec.

hello silentscream4, for licensing purposes the openh264 codec has to be shipped this way and cannot be included in the browser right away - this is used to enable cross platform video chat communication in firefox. some detail about this process is also available at http://andreasgal.com/2014/10/14/openh264-now-in-firefox/
