Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2014-12-04 08:06:50 UTC 
<flag name="gmp-autoupdate">Allow Gecko Media Plugins (binary blobs) to be automatically downloaded and kept up-to-date in user profiles</flag>

However enabling of "gmp-autoupdate" USE flag results in setting media.gmp-gmpopenh264.autoupdate=false in configuration.
Comment 1 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2014-12-04 09:24:17 UTC 
You could use usex:

for plugin in gmp-gmpopenh264 ; do
  echo "pref(\"media.${plugin}.autoupdate\", $(usex gmp-autoupdate true false));" >> ...
Comment 2 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-12-04 13:39:10 UTC 
the problem with usex is that in the USEflag-enabled case I don't want to set any default pref -- that is, I want the pref to be empty/unset instead of being set to true.

Anyhow, i already fixed this in-tree:
