My plug ins for websites won't work even if I click "continue allowing" like on Netflix and Hulu. How can I fix this?

When I try to start a movie or TV show on Netflix or Hulu the Plug In box appears in the upper left corner of the web browser next to the URL. When I click it, it says "Silverlight is enabled on movies.netflix.com" Then I have to either pick "Block Plugin" or "Continue Allowing"

Check your plugins are uptodate!

Type about:addons in URL and Goto Plugins

  • Check all the plugins are "Always Active"

Somewhere on the page right click, go to view page info > permissions and make sure that plugin content is allowed to play on that domain.

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.

To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
