Greetings to all I recently installed on my i386 32 bit computer Bodhi Linux legacy version along with Cinnamon DE. I noticed that Netflix was not working in both Chromium and Firefox. Even though DRM has been activated and Widevine plugin has installed and activated along as some Codecs installe…

Firefox 86, 87, and now 88.0.1 have no problem with Netflix. Haven’t tried 89.0

I won’t recommend using an older version of Firefox, honestly. It’s a security risk as you have already mentioned it. I’ll see if can download Bodhi Linux 32 bit and reproduce the issue in a VM.

Greetings Abhishek Thank you so much for helping me out in pursuing this issue. If you ever find a solution it will be highly appreciated, it might even help others who are in the same situation as I. Please do not forget that I have installed along with Bodhi Cinnamon DE. Please let me know. R…

[image] abhishek: It’s a security risk as you have already mentioned it. AFAIK, Firefox ESR gets all the necessary security patches, so it shouldn’t be a risk. What it lacks is, shiny new features maybe. There is a reason Debian offers the ESR version by default, and I’m confident, the reason…

My bad. I read older version of Firefox and jumped to conclusion. I haven’t used Firefox ESR. Will learn more about it.

There’s nothing wrong with ESR I think. I ride Debian since a while, so I stick to ESR. Early 2020 my kids were on Linux Mint, and they used to go to the school online, that time it was a real mess over here. One needed Teams, the other Google classrom, then sometimes skype, few times discord, as we…

@uboyalu Do you have any option to go 64 bit on that computer? If your computer is so old, that incapapble of running a 64 bit OS, the video playback of Netflix would be choppy anyway. If it has just few memory, say 2GB, but the CPU can run 64 bit OS, I would advise you to go 64 bit. In that case …

Greetings Abhishek Thank you so much for pursuing the matter. I appreciate your efforts in this matter. I read about ESR and the developers edition of FF but I don’t know 1. How secure they are and if the security patches are updated. 2. If it is secure and updated often how to install it usi…

Greetings Mr. Kovacs Thank you for replying with some sound suggestions regarding playing Netflix on FF. I will try playing Netflix on Proton player as suggested, as for the computer it is very old with Intel Pentium 4 chip with 1.5 gb of ram and will not probably be able to upgrade to 64bit. Reg…

Firefox is my go to for Netflix and can happily say it is working on mine, though I am 64bit. I’ll try it on my 32bit computer and post the results.
