Firefox can't play video's on CNN

The video’s on CNN Money can’t play. I have the OpenH264 enabled in Firefox.

Do I need to install some other codec or something to remedy this situation?

This answer is probably valid…

I enabled the applicable repo and installed VLC. The video’s on CNN and Facebook work now.

Thank you very much for the good advice.

VLC?
Maybe because it install some dependencies (codecs and so on) used by Firefox as well.

Yes, exactly! It is the easy way to install codecs you need, but don’t know which ones you need. VLC plays practically anything too.
