To be honest, I am not sure. I found out about this trick via a tip
for PowerPC Mac users - Adobe Flash is no longer supported for PowerPC
Macs, so users of the back-ported Firefox (TenFourFox) can't use Flash
so can't watch YouTube. This H.264 thing is a work-around.

I don't know about those 2 in specific, but I have met quite a few
video-embedding sites which seem just not to work on Linux. It is
getting rarer but it is not unheard-of, even now.
