Mozilla advises Firefox users to update to the latest released version to avoid experiencing video streaming issues after Google updates the Widevine digital rights management on May 31.
Once Google updates the Widevine private encryption keys and content decryption module on May 31, video streaming services using Google's DRM-protection technology will no longer work with older Firefox versions.
To resolve this issue, users must update to the latest released Firefox version to ensure that the latest Widevine library is available for all video streaming services.
If you haven't configured Firefox to update automatically, you can find detailed steps to update Firefox to the latest version on this Mozilla support page.
Mozilla has also recently shared info on fixing a known issue affecting users of Firefox 84 or later on macOS and leading to errors on streaming platforms including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon's Prime Video.
"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 said at the time.
