The more I read about this, the more confused I am! Near as I can tell, Mozilla refuses to support H.265 because it is "encumbered by patents". Is that right?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/Video_codecs#hevc_h.265

There are a few other places that mention the same... and I don't know of a reputable place to download codecs.

However people in this thread say they are viewing this video in Firefox just fine! o_O

Edit: I downloaded the HEVC codec from the Microsoft store and it has had no effect. (Feel no obligation to reply, at this point I am just lost!)

    Yeah, firefox doesnt support H.265 it looks like from some googling. Not exactly sure how other people are getting it to work, but it does look like there's some extensions for firefox to toss the media streams to VLC instead, that could work for you.
