how to utilize media.windows-media-foundation.enabled?
I have read all the articles I can find on media.foundation. But, I do not know what firefox is looking to on the host os for the appropriate codex.
I am running windows xp pro sp3 and firefox 22. I interpret various forum questions that firefox should play an mp3 file if the os has the appropriate codex. Under windows device manager I have a registered system codex for mp3. Firefox will not play the file but rather offers to d/l it. Is Firefox looking to windows media player for this information?
I would like to know how firefox is using the media.foundation preference in order to adjust my system to it. Any help would be appreciated.

hello, this will only work on windows 7 and above and uses the OS' inbuilt decoders...
Thanks for the fast reply.
What aspect of win7 is firefox quering? That is, is it looking for a registry entry, a specific dll, a location specific file?
Be well,

i'm not very good at the technical level but from past crash reports i know that the mfplat.dll library is called which handles the media foundation stuff...

Greetings Philipp,
Thanks for the references!! <g> I'll try to decipher ms-speak and see if I can tweak anything for xp. Really appreciate your time.
