Firefox Support Forum

The Widevine CDM 4.10.2209.1 plugin crashes every time in Firefox 78 browser. Was updated on April 21, 2021, maybe it's a bug? I'm not able to uninstall the plugin. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Today on my Netflix I received a "widevineCDM plugin has crashed" message. I went to the plugins and everything is updated even my FireFox. I have uninstalled and re-installed this app, but nothing has helped. Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

Hi!

Since most content is in English and search engines always link to the English version, I usually browse the english version of mozilla pages. But here on support in particular I have to contend with the pathetic date format where you can't tell which is day or month or year. So why can't I find a way to set the date format. Even the majority of tiny websites/forums have an option to specify the date format.

My Widevine CDM Plug-in just crashed! I checked my Firefox settings and it looks like the Widevine plug-in just updated late last night, and is up to date. I fear the new update might be incompatible with my Firefox 78.10.Oesr / or my OSX 10.9.5 but I'm not sure. I'm not a mac savvy person but I'm always ready to learn. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello I tried to use Firefox for a meeting with Google Meet. After reaching the front page in Meet, camera is active but I don't see myself. Camera instead is showing very light flashes with various colors.

it's not the OS....i use the latest W10. And of course it's not the camera: if I open the same Meet on Edge or Chrome...in those cases work normally. And of course is not the Firefox out to date....because I checked it is.

Thanks for your help Pier

WidevineCdm plugin is crashing when I try to play videos on Netflix, Hulu, and Peacock. In the browser, Firefox 78.10.0esr on my Mac 10.9. A yellow strip at the top explains that the plugin crashed and asks me to send a report, which I do and asks me to restart the browser, which I do. Nothing works. I tried "safe mode." I tried clearing caches and what not. I think the browser was just updated today. I am totally unable to play videos on those web pages previous mentioned. I am able to watch youtube, however.

Hi, I can't use Netlix since the last automatic update of firefox 2 days ago (78.10.0) - a problem with WidevineCdm. The message from Netflix : "Looks like your browser is no longer supported" and a popup yellow window "Le plugin WidevineCdm a planté" (=WidevineCdm plugin has crashed) Two errors codes, see in attached files

I have a problem watching video on Netflix and HBO Max. My Firefox is up to date and I checked my settings. But do I really have an up to date Firefox? Is that what's causing me to not watching a show or movie? Or it's a crash that can be fixed?

What can I do? Or what can be done?

Hi everyone,

it's been 2 days now since every time I open Netflix and Amazon Prime videos won't play. A yellow bar saying: "The WidevineCdm plugin has crashed" keeps coming up!

I'm using Firefox and I'm on a MacbookPro.

I've tried everything: restarting/shutting down device; reinstalling Firefox; deleting widevine folder and activate it from the adds on page; tried on other browsers (works on safari but not on chrome); contacted Apple / Netflix / Amazon / Google nobody was able to help; I also ran these websites with my Mac in safe mode...nothing was able to resolve it.

What can I do to fix it please?

This started to happen out of the blue...I haven't installed anything! It was working fine until the day before...

Before April 21st, 2021 I never had any issues with playing videos on Disney Plus, Netflix, etc. But since Widevine updated I cant play any videos without Widevine crashing. I reload the page (as it suggests) and it still wont work. I refreshed Firefox and that didn't work. I also tried to chat with Widevine but their page said "Widevine is a technology provider and we do not provide support to end users. Please contact your application or service provider for support on your particular issue."

Does anyone know what I can do to solve this problem? I really appreciate your help!

I'm on a Mac and the version Im using is 10.9.5. My firefox browser is 78.10.0esr (64 bit).

Hello,

since the last automatic update of the Widevine Content Decryption Module (updated today, automatically) the plugin keeps crashing when I want to watch "TV" waipu.tv. I have already re-installed firefox etc, it just won't work.

I have submitted several crash reports, this is the latest: bp-7bc4b8a4-e59b-4f7e-a840-7c0720210422

See screenshot of "crashed"-notice below.

What can I do to fix this?

Links from my site to other sites (but not to other pages in my site) always now gives a bad gateway signal. Using a new tab gets around it but it is proving irritating to visitors and must surely mean losing brownie points to the Google search bot.

have ADT security system with 2 wireless cameras. used to have live camera access but not now. get cannot connect and retry. can view live camera feed in all other browsers except firefox. have gone through the permissions settings and made sure 'allow' was enabled checked router and and camera settings which are fine with other browsers compared ADT software settings with FF and others and are the same according to FF security permissions there is a notation about encrypted transmissions yet does not say specifically what or how to change

Suddenly my right click mouse button doesn't work with dropdown boxes (so for example above when I needed to select the topic I had to use my arrow key) .The choices, or different logins pop up for a second but I can't select one. This happened suddenly last week. Only in firefox and it's pretty annoying. What has been changed? thanks

Pagination cannot be moved with the mouse And opening a page with the middle button will automatically jump to the new page. How to use the original fan page to move it with the mouse, and the middle button to open the page will first be in the original page

I have used firefox for many years. I very often use CTRL+F to search on webpages. Now it just does not work on one website i use very often. It seems to work on all websites but not this one. Does anyone have a clue ?

Here is the website it doesn't work on. Its a website that publishes Icelandic laws.

There is a thin border around the Firefox browser when it is not in full screen mode.

It disappears in full screen mode.

Is there a way to remove this border without having to use the browser in full screen?

Pictures attached.

Hi,

I was trying to use firefox primary password without knowing what it does :(. Well by the time i set the primary password in firefox i realise that it replaced all the saved login passwords of over 600 URLS with primary password.

I checked few articles where they have spoken about replacing logins-backup.json and key4.db file. In my case though i think this will not help because i had my syncing on, when i did primary password setting change. is there any method with which i can restore my previous passwords by creating new profile may be.

Just desperately need way with which i can restore the passwords else this will be really difficult for my work

Thanks Prasad

Hi!

I find the status text mostly annoying, but the URL usually useful. So instead of hiding the whole thing I only want to get rid of the status information.
