The Widevine site has 3 different downloads for its addon: IE, Chrome and Firefox. When I click on the the Firefox link, Firefox initially blocks the download. When I override the block, I get a message that the addon cannot be installed as the file may be corrupt. I've experimented wit the other two links on the Widevine site, and everything works fine. I ask around an the folks tell me to come to you guys to see what is the matter. - this problem was posted by "wdepp" on 12/30/15, 10:06 AM. I saw the solution offered for this request but it is specified there that it will work only for Firefox 43. Is there something I could do to make it work on Firefox 49?


Best regards,

What is your computer system and Firefox?

What is the message when you try the download? Have you tried looking here; Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
