Hi everyone; I hope you're all doing well!
I have a question that may draw some criticism, ridicule, and the general throwing of rocks at me for my stupidity...but here goes...
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?
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!
