If it doesn’t (maybe because you have a DRM-free version of Firefox), just create the folder structure yourself, get the necessary files from and place them in that folder. That folder should contain the files eme-adobe.dll, and eme-adobe.voucher. %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\\gmp-eme-adobe\17\ On Windows XP and XP 圆4, the plugin should reside in the folder: Their version 17 plugin is still being rolled out with the browser however, and it is binary-compatible with XP, so let’s show you how to re-enable it!
And the problem is, that Adobe found some problems with that plugin on XP, so they disabled support on the platform. But even if content isn’t signed and encrypted, the browser still relies on those plugins to play H.264. So yes, Firefox does support DRM out of the box. So, why doesn’t it “just work” in the first place? It did a few years back, right? Because H.264 playback relies on a DRM plugin, on Linux it would be the Google Widevine plugin, on Windows it’s the Adobe Primetime plugin. Anything starting with version 47 should work, official support came in 49, and I’ll be using the current version, 51.0.1 at the time of writing. Note that this guide is thus based on Firefox exclusively. HTML5 is just much, much safer, and free as well, and Firefox still supports XP. Especially when you think about Adobes’ history with critical security loopholes in Flash. Of course you could just rely on Adobe Flash, but since Google basically took over with their Pepperflash plugin and their Chrome browser no longer supports XP, it’s not the best move either.
Let’s face it, a lot of videos on the web rely on H.264 and sometimes you simply can’t watch certain videos or you won’t get all the available resolutions.
But not just with webm (VP8/VP9), but also with H.264/AVC. Basically, HTML5 video on Windows XP / XP 圆4. This is one thing that has brought to me by two users ( on and who talked to me about this on IRC), and because I got a bit pissed off by it myself, I decided to look into the matter.
