Auto-configure or document the need to use Chromium (rather than Firefox) for video playback #22

Firefox, even on Pi 3s, seems to stutter when playing videos such as youtube livestreams. I've worked around this in the past by using Chromium instead but had forgotten this when configuring this year's screens. Apparently this was reported, though the on-site Comp-Ops person wasn't aware of the issue/workaround and the message didn't make it to me until afterwards. Documenting the issue would be a great step here, though if we could automatically handle this (likely in macs-to-names.py) that is probably better.
