Every time I try and watch a movie online I get video file cannot be played, error code 102630. Can anyone tell me what I can do about this. I'm fairly new to ubuntu 18.04. Thanks

If those streaming services use DRM, you must enable DRM in Firefox's settings: Preferences -> General -> Play DRM-controlled content You might also have to install package libavcodec-extra to get the codecs:

sudo apt install libavcodec-extra

You have only one option is downgrade the firefox browser. Perform this command on your terminal.

apt-cache show firefox | grep Version

You'll see something like this

Version: 87.0+build3-0ubuntu0.20.04.2
Version: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu1

Now it's time to rollback

sudo apt-get install firefox=75.0+build3-0ubuntu1

Done, good luck.
