There is neither any hint that a piece of software is missing here nor what software package is needed so that the browser could deal with *.mp4 files.
The Firefox package contains actually hints (Recommends) how to get it work but it only works when the package manager can find the required packages and as they are *uhm* not shippable easily to everywhere in the world they are in general not in the default openSUSE repos. (I know this is not enough to make it work for the real enduser.)
Directly "inside" the browser sufficient information so that even unexperienced end-users could succeed.
Not easy and I would rather vote for package manager interaction instead. I recently tried to get VLC to play some files and was struggling.
I did the same steps with the same result on Tumbleweed. The strange thing is that H.264 is listed as not supported at the moment.
That's strange, because we have the OpenH264 Cisco stuff in the Plugin Browser list.
The Cisco OpenH264 is currently only enabled for WebRTC usage. I think it is required in from the WebRTC specification to support it but it's not mandatory for HTML5 video support. I don't know the arguments why it's done that way from Mozilla upstream.
I've tested the same steps with openSUSE 13.2 and it worked like a charm.
Packman?
