Automatic download of OpenH264 plugin

Dear Mozilla Maintainers,

I noticed that Firefox 51.0.1-1 (maybe even earlier) automatically
downloads the OpenH264 plugin although I have set

media.gmp-gmpopenh264.enabled = false

with all other media.gmp(...) options left to the default values. Setting

media.gmp-gmpopenh264.autoupdate = false

prevented the automatic download, so maybe adopting this as a default
setting is enough to prevent the automatic download (and people from
filing the next RC bug about this plugin).

Regards,
Viktor
