I haven't been being prompted for passwords in ages and don't remember 
any other complaints.

MP3 and according to html5test, MPEG-4 ASP is still not supported, I did 
encode some MP4's with H264 and they worked locally. Hopefully Bitwise 
will leverage libavcodec to play MP3's later.

Set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=FFmpegDecoderModule:9 to troubleshoot, and also 
make sure that these preferences are set to true, they should be now but...
media.fragmented-mp4.exposed
media.fragmented-mp4.ffmpeg.enabled

Probably, and possibly libzma0 (my FFmpeg 3.0.x needed it, not sure 
about Dmitri's or my libav builds).
You can also install the rest of FFmpeg from Netlabs along with SDL 
(might work with other builds) and try FFplay, it may also need 
fontconfig and freetype
