  1. Right-clink on the playing video, select "Stats for nerds" (or whatever it is called now), and compare between FF and Chrome. Maybe one browser uses H.264 while the other uses VP8/9?

  2. Most of the complaints I've seen have been on their support site though, not at Bugzilla where the devs would see them first hand. And there never seemed to be that many people joining in and confirming the bug. The point @grey_rat kindly reminded us about would also definitely play a role in this. In any case, far be it from me to absolve Mozilla from its responsibility, I've mostly just been meaning to point out that there have been interfering factors along the way that don't (in this case) necessarily involve full-on Google agents within Mozilla's ranks. Thanks! After I found that it didn't matter if I used an online stream or a local file, I just downloaded a a random longish file VP8 WEBM video from search results, which happened to be this one. As you said, you won't be able to stream it because FF 15.0 can't handle the current HTTPS ciphers, but you can play it locally. (I've got to say, by the time I was finally done with the fix, I was totally haunted by the faces of those debate participants! ) Sure thing, go for it , but maybe wait until people have had a chance to play with your builds? I'd thought of this too, but I didn't want to bring it up before it's been confirmed that the fix works well for everyone. But there'd definitely be some nice irony in getting this XP-specific fix into the current Firefox code via their stand-alone cubeb lib, after they took great care to remove all traces of XP from their main tree! That's an excellent point! It's been a long time since I switched from Flash to the Primetime codec for H.264, so Mozilla's messing around with H.264 and especially its support on XP has faded from memory a bit. Yeah, those watching MP4/H.264 stuff using the Flash player wouldn't see this 2x:xx issue (I think - never tested for it specifically) and wouldn't have anything to report until maybe the last few XP-compatible Firefox versions, by which time Mozilla barely cared about XP any more. And VP8/9, which Firefox supported natively, were mostly available on Youtube, hence the strong association with the site for a long time.

  3. When there was Firefox 15, the video was watched in flash-plugin No problem 23 minutes in VLC or WMP plugins Flash player on Youtube was disabled at the beginning of 50 versions Firefox https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar Firefox 52 - Release Date 2017-03-07 07.2017 - When Flash on Youtube was completely removed

  5. v13 build 2206 rebuild 2 file size == 90.0 MB v13 build 2206 rebuild 3 file size == 70.2 MB login resources have been removed (which also removed Avatar context menu [may bring it back in a later rebuild to use as dropdown for chrome URLs]) @Humming Owl's v12 modfications have been ported to v13 -- no more gstatic connection on First Run --- I have not tested for possible side effects but will report if I do find any all settings pages fit in one 1920x1080 viewport - it always bugged me that you could be three dialogs in, close that third dialog, and the second dialog defaulted itself back to the top and you have to find where you were at, just annoying so I fit all to one page https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/qyyimm3h58r3963/360Chrome%202206%20rebuild%203%20-%20unran%20-%20MSFN.zip

  6. @we3fan Try setting media.webm.enabled to false in about:config page and see how it performs. Should only need a reload of the page to take effect if you had a video open before you've set it, YouTube's stats->Codecs will then say avc1. Edit: wait, if you insist on Firefox 52 and my memory is right, you need a plugin that will do the decoding of H.264 (AVC1) streams if you disable the above pref. Disabling it on its own will leave no codec to fallback on that FX will be able to decode.

  7. Not much of a music person myself, but yes, though YouTube hasn't been the only source. My sound equipment is rather poor, onboard sound on an ASUS motherboard from 2008 that cost only 70€ and some relatively recent (cca. 2 years) Sony headphones that cost 30€. I also use Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 on Windows and PulseEffects on Linux. I don't have an exact equal config, it's probably impossible since they're 2 different programs, but they seem to help making things sound better even without digging deep into the configuration. Here be the 3 memorable (for me at least) theme tracks from Doctor Who: 2005 revival theme Series 8 theme The one that started it all, the original, you might say

  8. Updated v9, v11 and v12. - Added a few more changes to "360chrome.exe", "chrome.dll" and "chrome_child.dll". - Corrected some english issues. Added v13 (version 13.0.2250.0). - Succesfully erased the "p7.qhimg.com" entry in the "resources.pak" file. Added more programs to modify and test the browser: WinMerge, LiveTcpUdpWatch and Wireshark. Cheers.

  10. MPXPlay is one of very few new programs which are able to use AC97, it has some own code for make this happens as Q2DOS for AC97, Realtek HD.. but its not classic Dos Sound blaster driver which would help you with games. I doubt that someone after 20 years will write SB emulation year for Dos and AC97, Realtek HD, but everything is possible, but it would take lots of time. More chance is actually HW mode, i know at least 1 mad Estonian capable it, he already made own ISA new sound card.. but it will not help you because you have Notebook, notebooks with wrong configurations are dead end. If you notebook would have at leas LPT port, there is chance, to get some Adlib sound through it - https://www.serdashop.com/OPL3LPT maybe of MB would have some LPC chip and using some soldering and some card bay, it would be possible in future, but it would be pseudo notebook experience, Notebook with big box to make it working.. and even that LPT soundcard needs lots of game patching.. memory command - as every command dos will give you help with: "mem /?" to print help, remember command parameters from top of you head is silly Linux admins ways. Thread is some thread about EMS, i dont know all answers. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=60451 it but you have to fiddle with memory blocks locations.. its auto is not working and if you finally load it, you can continue to fiddle to get even conventional memory, in my files are examples how to change locations.. Its really per machine, there is not universal super parameters, even some people claims it. Without at least some phone photos of you settings and error message, there is not other than general help.. mouse\cdrom\USB - mouse is most simple, you can use good old mouse.com - which is using more memory, more sofisticated is ctmouse.exe both are in my package, ctmouse is default. USB - forget about it best you can get is some Bios USB to PS/2 fallback bios settings, which is on some boards not working correctly, that is why even on new boards make sense to use PS/2.. even for modern OS, for example, when OS is inicialized and need to press key for safe mode and USB keyboard is for seconds dead, because its not inicialized you have problem.. if USB is not working you have problem, PS/2 is always good to have. CDROM - again its in my package, you need to 2 parts.. drivers and some handler or how to name it. Driver -sys detects on your CD-ROM if IDE/Sata etc.. in my files are 3 major drivers, you need select right one. Handler - MSCDEX and SHSUCDX, first one is from MS old one, second one is more modern it supports even virtual CD-Rom images (not without CD audio its not implemented, it maybe would need HW mod). Again you have to read these config files, i added lots of comments into it, at the top of is settings (because of Dos design its starting in Config and its call sections defined in Autoexec based on selected mode and autoexec settings is influenced by setting at top it), to select want you want, there is not silver bullet.. Silver bullet is possible only on game basic, something like GoGs game Dosbox packages, where you dont have to care about it, you just run executable and usually its working fine.. If you want to continue really create here other thread.

  11. @mixit. Finally a fix, that's been a problem for a long time. I just tested it again in XP and the usual buffering was around 25:12. No reason for Mozilla not to have resolved it, there were plenty of complaints so they had to know. Probably too busy messing with the UI to be bothered with real bugs and then they wonder why their user base keeps dwindling.

  12. There is no need to hex-edit the dll file anymore. You can simply substitute psapi.dll in the KernelEx folder with the updated one:
