The only thing though is, I found nothing about others experiencing the problem...so that makes me think it was an issue with my computer.

Or...it was a conspiracy wrought against me by the shadow government! :D

All I know is that it's working now...LOL!

One thing I noticed though that now has me a little concerned is the version on the Slimjet site isn't the same as the one I installed...

Slimjet's version - 48.0.2564.109

The version I used - 48.0.2564.116-1

I scanned the version that I downloaded with everything I could scan it with, and nothing malicious was found. Hopefully, 32 bit Firefox will start working for me again soon...

Thanks again!

I have a question that may draw some criticism, ridicule, and the general throwing of rocks at me for my stupidity...but here goes... :lol:

My wife uses our old 32bit laptop to watch Netflix and Amazon videos. The 32bit Firefox has stopped playing them for some reason, and I can't figure out why. For information, I use the regular version of Firefox for this since the ESR version doesn't yet offer DRM content.

So...

I did some internet searching and found (what I believe to be) the last release of the 32bit version of Google Chrome. I threw caution to the wind...downloaded it and installed it. It plays both Netflix and Amazon perfectly.

So...

I made apps for both of them so that they would open in their own window. I then added "NoDisplay=true" to Google Chrome in /usr/share/applications so that the Chrome browser isn't "available" for my wife to use for browsing. All that can she can do with Chrome is watch either Netflix or Amazon.

That's basically all that computer is used for...but...am I playing with fire? :oops:

Is anyone else experiencing this problem with 32bit Firefox lately? 64 bit Firefox still plays both perfectly on our 64bit machines...

Thanks...and I'm now prepared for the onslaught! :lol:

In fact, when I was using su, she called for dd. Both were happy to allow me to control their every action...and they always return for more if ever I call for them.

I will be laughing for the rest of this day, and probably beyond :!:

Despite her protests to you, I did use su, but I was respectful when doing so. Knowing the power that I have over su, I only use that power when the situation calls for it.

I have you know that I'm no parsing elf and take my responsibilities of caring for su (and dd) seriously.

With great power comes great responsibility.
