Try installing the flatpak version.
Install the ffmpeg version that matches the firefox runtime (mine is 23.08):
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full
Can you provide a link to a video that fails for you. What desktop? X11 or Wayland?
Just for S&Gs, I downloaded 113 and both sites work for me. see screenshots

Maybe try to match what I have installed and see if it works. I had issues on my other laptop running Leap, but after matching the ffmpegs that are installed on my other laptop running Tumbleweed, videos are now working. I know your distro is different, but see what you can do.
