Twitter media cannot be played from Firefox

I just installed Ubuntu 16.10 but it cannot play some videos from Twitter in Firefox. Instead, I get a message, something like

This media cannot be reproduced.

If I open the Firefox console, I see this message:

The video on this page can’t be played. Your system may not have the required video codecs for: video/mp4; codecs=”avc1.42E01E mp4a.40.2″

Answer

The solution is straightforward: just install ffmpeg:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
