Netflix/Silverlight quit working, is Firefox 10 a 64 bit browser?

MS Silverlight is apparently required to stream Netflix. Streaming has stopped working for me every since Firefox upgraded to 10. MS says Silverlight will only work with a 32 bit browser.

Hi Ryan,
That worked perfectly! In my case I opened a 32 bit version of explorer, downloaded Silverlight, close explorer and reopened firefox. Working again, thank you!

How can I get Netflix instant watch working in Firefox 6.0?

Recently updated to Firefox 6 and Netflix instant watch won't work ... I re-installed silverlight but that didn't help. I can't find a way to rollback to Firefox 5.0, how can i fix this issue?

'''SOLUTION'''
The problem with Netflix streaming with the FireFox 6.0 version is that the Netflix service '''refuses '''version 6.0 because they are A) unwilling to license it '''''or''''' B) too lazy or stupid to add the new version to their User Agent acceptance scheme. C) under contract to MICROSOFT to use Silverlight and part of Silverlight's DRM is what Browser versions are acceptable and Microsoft is taking their sweet time updating Silverlight to push I.E. on people and if you have Beta 5 Silverlight forget that -------Until Netflix accepts Firefox 6.0 as a legitimate Netflix browser '''you may do what I have done to get Firefox 6.0 streaming at Netflix.'''
1) Open Firefox 6.0 and enter "www.whatsmyua.com" without quotations in the address bar and highlight and copy your present User Agent string from the top of that page when you get there.
2) Type "ABOUT:CONFIG" without quotations in the Firefox address bar and hit enter then answer the You might destroy the world question with Alright I'm ready.
3) Right click on the background of the Config screen and then highlight to click on the "New String" choice... When the box comes up enter "general.useragent.override" without quotations and hit return
4) When another box appears paste in your current User Agent string you copied in step 1) BEFORE hitting enter place your cursor on your paste and right arrow to the end of the line. EDIT/REPLACE "6.0" with "5.0.1" without the quotations. Enter your change and close out the Config page.
5) Repeat step 1) to make sure the User Agent string is now spoofing your browser as version 5.0.1
6) Go to Netflix and watch movies (Make sure Silverlight and the Firefox Java are on). If it was working before the upgrade, everything should now work again streaming Netflix with Firefox 6.0.
7) Call Netflix and tell them Dave sent you to see if they're stupid or just lazy and to quit spreading the B.S. that Firefox 6.0 ain't workin when we know it's Netflix (1-866-636-3076)

Netflix Silverlight 2103 error after Firefox 3.6.15 upgrade, but IE remains fine, reinstall of Silverlight made no difference

Within the last week, Firefox automatically upgraded itself to v. 3.6.15. Netflix started reporting a Silverlight 2103 error. I followed the Netflix instructions to uninstall Silverlight, then let Netflix reinstall Silverlight, which it did according to the Netflix instructions. MSIE continues to be able to play Netflix instant-view movies, even after the uninstall/reinstall of Silverlight.
Did something break as of 3.6.15?
Netflix reports that this particular combo is not a known issue and they have opened a case based on my report. I wonder if other users are silently switching to a different browser without reporting it...?
Thanks for any ideas or solutions.

The Netflix supervisor I spoke to today finally confirmed that it is a known condition. But he said Netflix can't contact Mozilla, only Microsoft since Silverlight is Microsoft's product (even though it seems to be a Firefox change at issue, not Silverlight breakage).
The suggestion from Netflix is to switch to an earlier (and less secure) version of Firefox, or change browsers entirely to MSIE or Chrome. Please someone on the Firefox dev team check into this so Firefox doesn't lose market share to other browsers over this.

Netflix won't work on Firefox, but works on IE

Today, while watching Netflix, a message popped up that said "Silverlight Instillation Program Error Code: 2014." The message says that in order to fix the problem, I need to uninstall and then reinstall Silverlight. I have done so multiple times, but Netflix still won't play. I tried to see if Netflix will play on IE, and it does, so I'm not really sure what my problem is.
I am running Firefox 15.0.1, Microsoft Silverlight 5 (5.1.10411.0), and Windows 7 (64-bit)

'''I had this problem too. Here's a sure fix for MAC users:'''
# Access your hard drive (double click the hard drive icon in finder)
# Find the silverlight plugin (navigate to your Internet Plug-Ins directory: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/)
# Remove the silverlight plugin (drag any of the following into your trash bin:
* Silverlight.plugin
* WPFe.plugin
# Empty your trash bin
# Go to [[www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/|www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/]] using your Firefox browser.
# Download and install silverlight
# Restart Firefox
'''ALL FIXED! :) What a relief. This was driving me crazy. '''

Firefox quit working (at all) after last two updates (browser window opens but won't open any webpages whether clicked from bookmarks or browser or typed into address window).

'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Netflix Silverlight not working in Chrome?

I just got a MacBook Pro and I have never had a Mac before. I want to watch Netlix but it told me to download Silverlight which I did. I then restarted Chrome and it still said I hadn't downloaded it but it was there in the downloads section of the computer. Am I doing something wrong? I am still new to this software so I am not sure what to do. Help please. Step by step would be appreciated I am so confused and upset.

On your Dock near the Trash Can is a folder called Downloads, click on it and open it and the Silverlight installer will be there or it mounts a DMG volume on the Desktop that looks like a drive.
Click on it to open and it should open and it if doesn't then hold the option/alt key, click on the installer and select "Open" and allow it to bypass Gatekeeper.
Install Silverlight and if it asks for your Admin Password, then give it.
You have to maintain Silverlight, it's not auto-updated like Flash is done for you by Google.
Silverlight is a Microsoft product, why Google doesn't deal with them about maintaining it.
You visit this page sometimes and make sure your Silverlight is updated.

My email suddenly quit working with Firefox but still works with Google.

The inbox opens up but won't go to a message when it's clicked. Also won't delete messages or go to any other folders. New messages do come in-just can't read them. This started a couple days ago and Firefox didn't seem to be performing well that day. When it improved the email problem remained.

My instant watch for netflixs is not working on my macbook pro. I just shows a black screen. I know that the problem is not Silverlight, so what other type of software or upgrades am I missing?

Go figure both Apple support and Netflixs support "have never seen a problem quite like mine" the same day my free trial has ended. And no the, problem is not with my Netflixs account because they charged my debit card just fine. I'm trying to play instant movies on my netflixs account and every time I click on a movie or show it just shows up a black screen with no play controls. According to Netflixs I'm either missing a peice of software or I need to uninstall and reinstall a program or plug-in or something. At first they thought it was Microsoft Silverlight, but I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling that several times and nothing has changed, plus since I had no play controls as well the problem is definetly not Silverlight. So I was wondering what other types of software or plug-ins are needed to play Netflixs movies or if anyones else has had the same issue and knew how to fix it. And I know that it is a problem with my Macbook Pro, because my netflixs accout still works on my sister's computers. I've tried restarting my computer, restarting Firefox, signing out and back in on Netflixs, praying to God, clearing my cookies and chache, saying nice things to my laptop, yelling at my laptop, and pretty much everything under the sun. Nothing I do is fixing it. Please someone help me figure this out.

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Silverlight is not working in firefox 14

I have 2 laptops at home.
Both are windows 7
Both are running Firefox 14.0.1
Both have Silverlight Plug-In 5.1.10411.0 enabled.
But the webpage I am trying to view only works on one laptop and not the other. when I right mouse click the webpage it has a silverlight box I can select and it opens the silverlight configuration. These setting are identical on both laptops

This completely worked! I've been working on this problem for hours and hours. Called Netflix and they said it was a Silverlight problem. Called Silverlight and they wanted $99 plus some government fee to help me fix it.
Silverlight was working on IE but not Firefox. And I prefer Firefox. After doing the reset I can now watch Netflix again.
I was excited enough about this to even create an account on Mozilla, just so I could post this reply.

Every time I open Firefox or open a page in a new tab, I get the error message that a script on this page is not responding or has quit working. This has only happened since I upgraded to 5.0.

Even when I start firefox I have to sit here and wait for it to tell me a script on this page is not responding or has quit working. Once that happens which takes a while, I can say stop script and it moves on. I've always liked using firefox and have never had a problem in the past, however if I can't get this particular problem fixed, and I've tried many ways to do this, I may have to change to another browser. I would hope that you could find out why this is happening to me before I make that decision. One other thing, I am using the dreaded Vista OS.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Have been using firefox for months; now has quit working properly with the websites I use everyday. What happened?

It has quit working with "liverez" which is my web based reservation program. The place I login is https://reservations.liverez.com/login.asp?LogOff=True&Return=Res but once I login, the site does not work as it did before. The website that corresponds with this doesn't look right now either. I can't even use my msn email account with firefox now. I have had to go back to using internet explorer. I have not even tried other sites with foxfire at this time. The other sites I use for work. Things that aren't working are that I can't click on things I need to click on, drop downs aren't showing up, pictures are absent, etc. It is all working fine on internet explorer and used to work on firefox until last night.

Thanks to some hints in several strings, I went back to the Control Panel in XP, clicked on Sounds and Devices, clicked on Audio, then changed the default device to the Realtek HD Audio output I have on my computer. Now I can hear You Tube video sound and other Internet audio fine, at least for now. I will come back if it stops again. Thanks to all who posted.
