Release 96.0.1 streaming problem.
Since install of release 96.0.1, all drm streaming on pc has failed. Running windows 10 pro. Have cleared cache, restarted pc and router, refreshed and then reinstalled firefox. no luck. then i reverted to release 95.0.2 and everthing worked fine. but then, despite the fact that i disabled auto updates, release 96.0.1 was reapplied and streaming was broke again. cannot use amazon prime or comcast streaming services. youtube works intermitently. why was current release reapplied regardless of auto update setting and why is streaming not working? streaming works on chrome but not firefox. i have been using firefox for as long as it has been around. must i now be forced to use chrome instead?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1359657#answer-1463359 and updated to 95.0. . . . I finally found where the plugin "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc." was not updating to the newest version of December 1, 2021. Ver #4.10.2391.0
cor-el; Make sure you have the latest Widevine version. You can toggle DRM off/on to see if that makes Firefox (re)load DRM components.
- Settings -> General: Play DRM

You can possibly check the XHR requests in the Browser Console if this doesn't work.
Widevine is up to date (see images) and web console not showing any messages. Thanks for the response but no luck.
Make sure you are not blocking content.

- How to clear the Firefox cache {web link}
I have cleared all history. No joy. Starting in safe mode disables extensions, including widevine. No joy. The only plugins I am using is Ublock and Lastpass password manager. Disabled both. Still no luck. I have restarted computer and router. No luck. Flushed dns cache. No luck. Disabled Windows firewall. No luck. It sure would be nice if I could just revert back to release 95, but mozilla apparently insists on updates now. This is very frustrating. The 96 release obviously made a change that is causing the problem. Does anybody have any other ideas?
There is a way to go back, but it's a bit complicated.
Start your Computer in safe mode with network support.
Then start Firefox.
Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
