Firefox - if allowed to do so - will download the openh264 codec when started and used the first time. AFAIK this download happens from a Cisco provided build which is covered by their patent grants.
Where can the user enable/disable this? This would be a clear requirement for the cisco binary license:
IIRC Firefox asks the first time when a WebRTC H.264 codec is requested by a website to download. In addition it can be enabled/disabled in the Add-Ons->Plugins settings. I haven't looked deeper into details but given that Mozilla was closely working together with Cisco on providing OpenH264 into browsers I'm quite sure that Mozila and Cisco are well aligned how it is integrated and since we do not touch any of the defaults here I don't have doubts.

1. The Cisco-provided binary is separately downloaded to an end user’s device, and not integrated into or combined with third party software prior to being downloaded to the end user’s device;
2. The end user must have the ability to control (e.g., to enable, disable, or re-enable) the use of the Cisco-provided binary;
3. Third party software, in the location where end users can control the use of the Cisco-provided binary, must display the following text:
"OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc."
