Firefox 69.0.3 Issue on Mac

Hey Flashphoner

I've been unable to submit videos with the latest version of Firefox. I am able to start a video recording successfully (Publishing status) but when I try to submit the video it goes to the unpublished status but no video gets submitted and the status doesn't change.

Solution:
The problem is with the plugin “OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.” that is shipped with Firefox by default.
For some reason if I delete this plugin on the disk, the submission will work.

Just use either Chrome or Safari for the time being while Firefox fixes this.

Cheers,
Taylor

Good day.
In the new version of macOS Catalina significant changes have arrived with Gatekeeper: Gatekeeper check non-quarantined apps and files for problems every time you run it. When macOS detects problem, it blocks the file, then sends you an alert.
In Firefox, to work with the H264 codec, you need to add the dynamic library libgmpopenh264.dylib to Gatekeeper security exceptions.
If you delete this file, your stream will use the VP8 codec.
