(I wonder if any third-party media software is also affected.) But if you want to watch videos using a Firefox version that requires Windows 7, then the Media Foundation files are necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Dixel did exactly that with much earlier versions of the extended kernel. Maybe look for his posts way back in this thread for information. If you don’t mind using Chrome or Opera for watching h264 videos, then I believe you could dispense with mfplatsetup if I’m not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 3 hours ago, Vistapocalypse said: Slightly OT, but can you confirm that version worked on Windows 7 as well as on Vista with extended kernel? I’ve seen reports of difficulties involving 7, although it apparently worked on 8.1. Logitech Support continues to point Windows 7 and 8 users toward version 2021.3.5164, but @Jaguarek62 posted April 15 that it did not work on Windows 7? (I assume that the latest 2021.5.9841 released on May 27 only works on Windows 10.) Why yes i am using it on windows 7 as my main, actually that pic is from windows 7 only, vista wont update past 2021.4 either but doesnt give the unsupported os error 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) @Vistapocalypse Actually i just checked and funnily the GHUB on Vista Updates beyond 7 and 8.x, lmao Which also means that they can actually run on 7 and 8.x (somehow idk how) Edited June 7, 2021 by burd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is installation of 2021.5 blocked on Windows 7? (Maybe they just forgot about Vista?) Keep an eye out for any issues with that version. People will want to know the last usable version and you seem to be MSFN’s leading authority on G HUB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VistaLover Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 8 hours ago, winvispixp said: tbh i don't really like the new interface The Proton GUI introduced in Fx 89.0 release channel can, for now, be DISABLED via toggling ALL "proton"-enabled about:config prefs, followed by a browser restart - those prefs will eventually be removed in future Fx versions, but user.js+userChrome.css+userContent.css based solutions are already available; until Mozilla kills them, too... Disabling Proton will revert the GUI to Photon, first introduced with Fx Quantum 57.0... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winvispixp Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 well.. since the topic on other forum got locked and win32 got banned, does anyone know if this project will continue or that's all we get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
