Thank you pceiley
How-to: h264 etc. Support for Firefox (including ffmpeg install)

$ mkdir ~/build && cd ~/build
$ curl -LO https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-4.2.tar.bz2
$ tar jxf ffmpeg-4.2.tar.bz2
$ cd ffmpeg-4.2
$ sudo swupd bundle-add c-basic devpkg-libva devpkg-freetype devpkg-opus devpkg-libtheora devpkg-libvorbis
$ ./configure  --prefix=/usr/local --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-libfreetype --enable-libopus --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-shared && make && sudo make install
$ sudo sh -c 'echo /usr/local/lib >>/etc/ld.so.conf'
$ sudo ldconfig

Then install VLC from Software or reinstall Videos Application, now you can play mp4 files.
