Whenever I play videos from BBC iPlayer, Mozilla pops up a prompt saying "To improve video quality, you may need to install Microsoft's Media Feature Pack." I have to press a button to remove this message from the full-screen video display.

It is already installed.

How do I permanently disable this pop-up?

I suspect this may be a bug because I am running a "N" or "KN" version of Windows 10.

hi, please note that after each major windows milestone (like the creator's update) you'll have to re-download the media feature pack for the new version: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4016817/media-feature-pack-for-n-edition-of-windows-10-version-1703-april-2017

Thank you, that fixed it. I'll have to watch for these updates in future.
