Since the latest upgrade of FireFox 84, I have been having troubles with some websites like Disney + , Amazon Prime and playing videos from youtube Facebook and some other sites on both Windows and Linux. I believe I read that Firefor was going to stop using Adobe plugis or some kind of plugin. Like i said after it updated that is when the trouble started. MX19 (A LXDE distro based on antix which was originally a lightweight off shoot of Mepis) the build team do build new package when updates are released. I had to download and use Chrome (which I really hate) to watch these video and also use Doxy video service to talk to my Dr,s) Here is a typical screenshot TY

Linux is my daily driver and I have no video streaming issues.
