I would strongly advise against replacing it , esp. for those who love HD content. As you all know , Win 7 is just so much worse in terms of h264 files playback , and pretty much everything else. They look washed out , pale , etc. And for those who simply can't live without firefox, why not do it locally ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win32 Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 I just checked and it is the media foundation replacement that kills it (one of the tests it does is "checking Windows media playback"; a system with updated kernel files but not media foundation ones has no issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be possible to use Firefox with localized versions of mf and mfplat.dll along with the other codecs, as Dixel said. But there may have been a reason why I discounted it back in July.

Probably not, best thing would probably be to run it, disable the WINSAT task, and then install the media foundation from 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaguarek62 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Since we're talking about media foundation, is your dreamscene working? Mine is broken. https://prnt.sc/w2q6om - Dreamscene encountered critical error. Edited December 14, 2020 by Jaguarek62 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win32 Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Mine still works, even with win7 media foundation (though dreamscene can be enabled for W7, but is apparently unstable. for the record, it works on this same configuration with W7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
