I want MP4 files to open in an external player. I had media.windows-media-foundation.enabled set to false but it seems that stopped working with the new release. When set to false I now get an error from the link: Video can't be played because the file is corrupt.

Any help would be appreciated.

hello tobyexx79, please set media.windows-media-foundation.enabled back to its default preference and turn media.play-stand-alone to false instead.
