How to make Firefox stream TV and radio?
I installed fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and made all available online updates. All OK, except Firefox browser does not stream / show TV and it also will not stream radio (Firefox only offers to downloaded audio/video).
I tried Chrome browser and Chrome has no problem with both of these tasks.
Is it possible also in Firefox without installing Adobe Flash?
Firefox informed me that it installed OpenH264 Video Codec, supplier Cisco Systems, Inc to my PC (HP Compaq 8100 Elite i3). But I can't find it in my PC.

"OpenH264 video codec..." is a Firefox plugin. To see it you can go to Firefox menu -> Add-ons -> plugin. Is OpenH264 indeed installed? And de you have any other plugin installed?

Thanks for checking. I would not expect you to find OpenH264 anywhere else on your PC. Another question then: can you stream a video on Youtube with Firefox?
