Vistapocalypse Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Hi legacyfan. Firefox 52.9 installs its own h264 decoder and does not need a codec pack. (Roytam1’s browser builds need third-party decoders, but I don’t think his instructions call for installation.) Are you trying to watch YouTube videos with Firefox or what exactly? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyfan Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) im trying to watch webcams on a website i like but it just sits there forever and wont load and autoplay is not even in the browser options (and yes youtube wont work) Edited May 26, 2021 by legacyfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistapocalypse Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I should have been more specific: Firefox 52.9 x86 installed its own h264 decoder. If you are attempting to use Firefox x64 on XP x64, then you are out of luck because it required Windows 7. But if your issue involves Vista with extended kernel, then you need win32’s mfplatsetup.
