Some web conferencing applications, like Webex or Jitsi-meet, require H264 hardware decoding to work, but in Firefox, this feature is disabled by default. To save others from going through the trouble of figuring this out (particularly when the OpenH264 Video Codec plugin (under about:addons -> Plugins), that supposedly "will be installed shortly", can be quite misleading), I suggest adding the following to the pkg-readme. sdk@ was very kind to help me figure this out.
