Earlier today I was trying to watch Prime video and I kept getting an error saying that Firefox wasn't updated (which it was). I looked up some solutions, one of which suggested turning the DRM setting off and then back on. That was a mistake, because after that, any time I opened Prime or netflix, the error I got was "Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio or video on this page. Please try again later. "
Then, I looked that up and found out that my Widevine was just not installing. So, I found an alternative way to manually install it, which shows that it is installed in the Add-ons Manager, but I keep getting that error and nothing works. Prior to this my Netflix was still fine and working.
I've tried a few other things including closing firefox, refreshing firefox from the troubleshoot settings, and restarting my computer.
I am out of ideas, and I wanted to see if anyone can help me before I have to jump ship to another browser.
