H264 in Firefox on Windows 10 N without Media Feature Pack?
I'm having a problem to get Firefox to play h264 videos/audio on Twitch and Youtube. I'm running the N version of Windows 10 build 1607.
I followed the instructions written in this post:
https://superuser.com/a/1378229/970651
I managed to get "MSE & H.264" to work, but H.264 is still red with a exclamation mark.
Firefox MSE H.264
Any other ideas how to make H.264 work fully with Firefox without installing the Media Feature Pack?

I don't want all the extra bloatware that comes with it. Like Grove Music, Skype, Windows Media Player etc. I'm running Windows as barebone as possible. I've stripped most out of it using MSMG Toolkit. Everything I use it for works, except this. h264 works fine in Chrome, but for some reason, I get about 1% dropped frames when playing 60fps videos. Doesn't matter if It's 720 or 4k.
