            Bug ID: 297986
           Summary: multimedia/openh264 doesn't install Firefox add-on
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New

On FreeBSD 15.1, I have the openh264 and firefox packages installed.  I'd
expect this to result in the openh264 add-on being available in firefox.  

However when I navigate to about:addons and choose "OpenH264 Video Codec
provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.", I see "OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco
Systems, Inc. will be installed shortly."  

It never is installed, despite restarting Firefox, and the host system itself.

I can work around this by creating a symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/gmp-gmpopenh264/gmpopenh264.js
/usr/local/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/gmpopenh264.js

... at which point when I restart I see that it's installed.
