According to a comment[1] on the Mozilla Bug Tracker Firefox seems
to be able to build with --enable-av1 on at least FreeBSD 12. While
I currently don't have a system to test it I'd assume the same
to be true for FreeBSD 11.2.

Since various big video portals, such as YouTube are starting
to offer videos with this encoding and because official
Firefox builds have been starting to come with AV1 enabled
by default it might be worthwhile to add an option for it
as well.

However, maybe one should try against FreeBSD 11.2 first,
and if necessary disable it for builds on FreeBSD 11, if
it really causes problems.
