After upgrading to Fedora 28, most of Youtube is broken in Firefox,

Googling around, found this:

But none of the packages are currently available:

Meanwhile, back on Fedora 27, H.264 video works fine in Firefox,
without any of this.
I'm running F28 and haven't had any problem playing videos for the weeks
I have been. I just went to youtube and had no problem watching a video
with both the Fedora firefox and nightly. Is there a specific way to
make sure that a video is H264 (mp4) instead of webm (most of youtube)?
Can you maybe point me to a video that has the problem so I can try
playing it?
It appears there might be something in your configuration causing a
problem.
