This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
According to caniuse.com, it works now in the Nightly builds and can be enabled in other builds via the
media.wmf.hevc.enabled
pref inabout:config
.I use Firefox Dev Edition and I think it’s enabled there. But either way, you can enable it on stable.
Night, windows only, and needs to be enabled with about: config.. ie it almost has some support maybe. Also doesn't work via webrtc so it doesn't actually help me with the viewing the security cam feeds.
champagne problems.
Core web app compatibility vs ..... "enhanced" ad blocking. MS teams and some other business tools also don't support Firefox but work fine in Chrome and Safari.
It is something the Firefox team needs to work on again. I used Firefox from when it was released until Chrome came out and mopped the floor with it. At the time Firefox became the bloated beast and went through a reset.
Unfortunately trying to have a firm stance on not implementing HVEC when they no longer had the largest market share was a bad move and they seem to be slowly back tracking on that.
MS Teams not working as well in Firefox is a "we want you using Edge or Chrome" Microsoft issue, not a Firefox issue.
You wouldn't believe the amount of enterprise-sector MS websites that have went from works fine on Firefox to completely broken on anything but Chrome and Edge very quickly after Edge became Chrome with a lick of paint.
I work in IT I am well aware.
So it's not something Firefox needs to work on, it's something Microsoft should be punished for. The bulk of these sites for fine if you spoof your useragent to look like edge or chrome, proving it's nothing to do with browser capability.
They're using their market position to sabotage a competitor.
