mynetflix isn't working because it says my silverlight is outdated. how do i update silverlight when the silverlight updater says "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight." I am using Windows XP64. It seems I had this problem a few months ago but silverlight seemed to have fixed its self.

for some reason Firefox was not letting me see a link to the 32 bit version of Silverlight. I has to use IE to get to the 32 bit Silverlight download. The Silverlight install message "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight". The message should probably say "Your web browser does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight" not "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight."


I have been using the x64 Silverlight with Firefox until yesterday (august 27/2012) all of a sudden I'm prompted to uninstall and reinstall. The thing is that I get the message telling me it is the wrong version for my os which is win7 ultimate x64. Shat changed causing me to lose the use of Netflix? It doesn't give me the option to dl the x32 bit, do I need to roll back to a previous version of Firefox?


Fast response, thanks. I'll give it a try, but this version of firefox seems to lag a bit. Downloads take forever and even logging into gmail takes several times longer. If this doesn't work I'll just uninstall firefox, if it does I will let you know, thanks.


Hi Bowcat, try disabling hardware graphics acceleration. You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).


Just tried the 32 bit Silverlight and I get the same mssg, The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running... So it seems that I can't use x32 or x64 Silverlight and I can't watch Netflix with Firefox anymore. How can I roll back to the last version of Firefox? That seems to be the only way to get the service I'm paying for back.


The error message I assume is from the Windows installer, but I tried it with IE as well and get the same message. I have successfully reinstalled silverlight but it just gives the same error code 2103 message. I have had no problem until the 27th using the x64 Silverlight then the error message starts. They don't call them microsuck for nothing. If it weren't for the recording software I have invested in I would be using Linux by now. I will try the Silver light 4 and see if it helps and will let you know if it doesn't. If I don't you know that my computer is far below my balcony and I just can't respond. Thanks for the fast response, I do appreciate it.


I became suspicious when I couldn't even open the Fixit application! So I rebooted and tried netflix first out of curiosity and it worked right away, x64 silverlight with Firefox no problem. I really should have tried this first but all those concussions are slowing me down is seems. thank you very much jscher2000 and cor-el for your help, if only Microsoft and a few others could be as helpful as you are computing would be a breeze. Now back to Tracy Ullman's State of the Union to cheer me up.Sincerely, your crusty bruck up old bowcat.


Hello,I have trouble getting sound playback on firefox (checked 85.0 and 78.7.0esr both 64 bit) on windows 10.I checked sound on youtube, and netflix.I checked other applications like spotify and mpv, and soundplayback there is fine. Also it works on Firefox nightly (87.0a1).


What i have already tried:- restarting my computer- opening windows volume mixer and see if firefox is muted- updating my audio driver- different playback devices (Device over HDMI and Line out)- reinstalling firefox- uninstalling firefox, delete folders in C:\Users\$username\AppData\Local C:\Users\$username\AppData\Roaming- new install with fresh downloaded installer- restart to safe mode


I was able to solve the problem. Windows 10 seems not having just one volume mixer for applications. There is one at right click volume icon open volume mixer and there is an other one at settings -> sound -> advanced sound options -> App volume and device preferences.


there was the output of mozilla firefox set to "blank" instead of "Default". You cannot set this to blank with the gui yourself some something must have happend in the past, that caused this preference to go to "blank". Also reinstalling the application seems not to reset the settings made in this particular preference page.


Look at the current tab in Firefox (the Youtube or Netflix one with no sound) (See images below). Right click it and if it says "Unmute tab" your tab is muted and select it to allow sound again, or just click the icon directly. The icon will change to a colored icon to indicate it's unblocked. A colorless, crossed out sound icon indicates the tab is muted. It's easy to accidentally click the icon and mute it. Shortcut Ctrl+M also mutes it.


I added this answer because it's not obvious anywhere in Firefox, other than the tab bar. I drove myself crazy looking for the problem even though I am a repair technician. It's easy to miss. The third image shows the icon after the video has been played. See how similar it is to the muted icon?


Follow the instructions on screen, after you have created the file, you have to open it with Netflix add-on by choosing the login with "Authentication key". Remember to delete the Authentication key file after login.


I managed to get this to work, by downloading the NFA KEY zip files on windows PC. Did the extraction, executed the application . It loaded Chrome browser which auto nivigated to netflix page, to which i put in my username and password. Chrome closed, and key was generated in same folder as application. It popped up with a PIN.
