You may encounter that your preinstalled Firefox, ~~or the Fedora Flatpak one~~ (no fix currently afaik), can't play videos.

This is due to missing nonfree codecs, that the Fedora Project would need to pay an enormous amount of money for, thus they can't possibly preinstall it.

There is rpmfusion though, which is not situated in the US and thereby can easily ship these packages without consequences. Also, some Flatpak apps or runtimes ship ffmpeg, which includes the wanted video codecs.

Here are some ways to fix this problem. I will focus on Fedora Atomic versions, but on regular Fedora its similar.
