Everytime I go to watch netflix, it says that firefox is updating the audio and video. It has been like that for so long now. I tried to toggle between on and off of play DRM but that has not worked. Please help!!!

Please consider turning on send info to Mozilla before posting a question. This helps us help you. As I have no info from your system that would help see things that cause issues.

Since current version is 56.0.2 I suggest you update to it. https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ Full Version Installer

These may help : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-video-audio-problems-firefox-windows and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/html5-audio-and-video-firefox

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Hmm, sometimes there are problems installing the DRM plugin (Widevine).

A few months ago, I discovered some download links but I think they might be out of date now:

https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1166918#answer-984516

Hopefully someone has posted some succinct instructions on how to get the files where they need to go when it doesn't happen automatically.

I think PkShadow meant to use the Share Data button when you post questions. I don't think there is a way to do that after posting the initial question.

From Firefox Tool Bar --> Tools --> Options -->Privacy & Security --> under Firefox Data Collection and Use tick the box tick the 1st and 3rd boxes.

Ok.

I have found this and do you have any adblockers running and A/V program and Firewall as maybe the issue. Wildvine for us is distributed by Google so thinking it needs to do so.

Also can you follow the directions in this post and copy/paste the info. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1135638?page=2#answer-913708 It is archived so some info may not be of use such as making the new key. Other might be though. Thanks.
