Solved After upgrade to 15.1, videos do not work in Waterfox

W

I often get the error "No video with supported format and mime type found."

In Waterfox, if I go to Extensions and Themes > Plugins, I have this message: "Openh264 video codec provided by Cisco Systems Inc. will be installed shortly" but it never installs.

In Waterfox, my Jellyfin client will no longer play videos.

I can still play youtube videos.

I upgraded FreeBSD from 15.0 to 15.1. All of this worked before the upgrade. Also, all of this works in my Chromium browser. Except my Chromium browser will not play youtube videos smoothly.
 
I got it fixed. I did an installation. But not just
Code: 
pkg install www/waterfox
that did not fix it. Following instructions on google, I did the following:

Code: 
#  mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
# cp /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
# gvim /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

I changed
Code: 
FreeBSD-ports: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
to
Code: 
FreeBSD-ports: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",

Saved the file. Then did the following:

Code: 
# pkg update -f
# pkg install www/waterfox
Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
    waterfox: 6.7.0.b.3,1 -> 6.7.6,1 [FreeBSD-ports]
