Manually installing OpenH264 plagin

Cisco OpenH264 plagin was introduced with Firefox version 33. As I understood the plagin is downloaded from openh264.org website (http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/openh264-win32-v1.1-Firefox33.zip). But this domain is blocked by company firewall and Firefox can't download it and caches every time I close it.

Is there a way to install the plagin manually if i obtains the file?

This plugin (extension) is currently only used for WebRTC, so you may not need it.

You can try to toggle the media.gmp-gmpopenh264.provider.enabled pref to false on the about:config page.
