Mozilla has shared info on how to fix a known issue leading to errors on multiple video streaming platforms including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon's Prime Video on the Mac version of Firefox 84.

"If you're on a Mac with Apple Silicon and are experiencing errors when trying to watch Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime or another streaming service after installing Firefox 84+, you might need to install Rosetta," Mozilla says in a recently published support document.

This happens because, as explained by Mozilla, Rosetta 2 is required on Macs with Apple Silicon to run apps built for Macs an Intel processor.

Rosetta 2 runs in the background and it works by translating apps specifically built for Intel processors for use on Apple Silicon.

If they encounter one of these errors, Firefox 84 users have to install Rosetta on their Apple Silicon Macs as a quick fix.
