Hi Niciundsandy, is this problem on your Windows Vista computer (or maybe a later version of Windows, but your browser indicated Vista)?

Netflix has transitioned from Silverlight -- which no longer runs in the regular Firefox release of Firefox 52 or later -- to the built-in HTML5 media player plus the "Widevine" DRM plugin. Could you take a look at these articles:

  1. Fix video and audio problems on Firefox for Windows N editions
  2. Watch DRM content on Firefox
  3. Why do Java, Silverlight, Adobe Acrobat and other plugins no longer work?
