I am unable to view netflix on the foxfire browser. I called netflix and they said for me to uninstall silverlight and reinstall. I did that and rebooted the computer. It connects to the website but goes to a black screen.

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.

To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
