after upgrading to lion, i tried to watch netflix. But in the gallery section, where you select the movies you want, i get nothing but black boxes. It plays the videos, but the little gallery preview doesn't work. any one know what i can do?

i installed the newest version of silverlight and still nothing.

point me in the right direction.

Try disabling Block Pop-Up Windows in your browser and then give it a try.

Using which browser? Have you tried another browser?

There is no issue here at all. That particular page does not use Silverlight.

Try disabling &/or removing all plugins and extensions you have installed.

Like bobtomay has alluded to, I get the feeling that this is being caused by an extension. What extensions do you have installed for each browser?

Just duplicated your issue here.

Safari - Preferences - Appearance - put a check in 'Display images when the page opens'.

I find it odd that this is happening across browsers. Have you reset each respective browser? Let's try one at a time here: Chrome > Clear Browsing Data...

Way... way too many specs to list.
Well, what can we eliminate...

Java, Javascript (disabled both, and still have images when browsing my queue). Same thing with Flash and Silverlight. I'd go with a cookie or cache corruption issue.

Hrm, I wonder.... have you tried using Googles public DNS server?

I wonder if that could be... take for instance..

Code:
src="http://cdn-3.nflximg.com/en_us/boxshots/166/70175633.jpg"><a id="b070175633_0"

if you cut/paste the URL for the img src above, do you see the image?
