Hello,

Earlier today, Hulu was working, but when I try to play videos tonight it just freezes on a black screen with no audio. I sometimes get the message "Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio or video on this page. Please try again later." I thought this was an issue with my DRM, but Netflix, Spotify, and Disney+ content all play like normal.

Widevine says that it was updated today, and when I try to install a different version it says the file is corrupt.

My hosts file has not been changed from the default settings.

I also can't access gvt1.com; it says that the server was not found.

I've tried reinstalling Firefox multiple times to no avail.

Are there any other possible solutions to this problem?
