Though it is not clear at or which specific security issues are being referenced. OpenH264 is sandboxed for security reasons There are several differences in the implementations. Not sure if it is proper to compare the output of MediaRecorder between Firefox and Chrome. mkvmerge is not able to merge a webm file output by Firefox with a webm file output by Chromium. Firefox contains cues and duration and has a size greater than Chromium. The webm files output by MediaRecorder at Firefox and Chromium are dissimilar in more measurable ways than one. I think it would be very smart to preemptively add Matroska support ASAP. Once some novel websites that leverages MediaRecorder API doesn't work on Firefox users will be forced to switch browsers. Because of that basically a choice for a webmaster comes down to Chrome+Safari or Chrome+Firefox support. For cross browser interoperability h264 will be used but because Chrome puts it in Matroska container Firefox won't play it. MediaRecorder API for Safari is coming (h264 of course).
