DirecTV Now - Not Compatible With Firefox?

[Ryan P.]

Is there any way to use Firefox when using DirecTV now? Chrome runs
it natively without any additional addons, and IE runs it if your
willing to install Silverlight...

What is the reason that FF can't stream, anyway?

It can stream, just not directvnow.com. Maybe Mozilla didn't pay some
kind of fee.

It's called "opinion" because it's not knowledge.

You have a down level of Firefox.

Silverlight has been dead for quite a while. I have hurtful results
from that myself.

Silverlight requires flash,
Streaming can be done with html5... available in Chrome And Firefox for
a couple of years or so.

Flash is not supported in the newest Firefox.
If you need flash from some sites, Try Firefox ESR release. I use ESR
45 when I have to use flash.

This is all about Malware, smartphones and the urgent need to defend
against incredibly sophisticated, and successful Malware. Ransomware is
probably the most recent in the news.

Kingdaddy 2, I'm not sure why you're responding to a five month old thread.
