Bug#769716: iceweasel: OpenH264 back in 37, breaks H.264 playback

[Jonathan Lane]

Package: iceweasel
Followup-For: Bug #769716

Dear Maintainer,

The OpenH264 download by default is once again in Iceweasel 37, and actively 
breaks H.264 playback support on Debian Jessie, which works with Iceweasel 
31esr and GStreamer.  This is also the case with upstream builds of FF38.0a2.  
I have filed a bug with Mozilla here:
