I've had trouble watching anything on Netflix over the past few days.
I can access any and all sites through Safari and Firefox, including Netflix, but when I click on any title to begin streaming it instantly, the browser quits itself.

I've tried everything I can think of... uninstalling Silverlight, reinstalling Silverlight, uninstalling Firefox and updating it, changing the User Agent of Safari etc.

Nothing has worked!
Please! Someone help me!
All I want to do is watch Twin Peaks on Netflix but I fear I may just cancel my account : (

Thanks guys!

Moved to a more appropriate forum.

When your browser crashes, do you get any sort of error message?

Changing the user agent string won't help - it only identifies your browser when you visit a page and won't prevent anything from crashing your browser.

I receive a message saying the browser quit unexpectedly due to an error with the coreclr plug-in

Thanks, but I actually already found that article and attempted to uninstall and reinstall Silverlight to no avail.

Will keep looking and post if I find another fix.

CoreCLR is indeed part of Silverlight (more information if you have a burning need to understanding more about it).

Some have suggested that you clear out the cache for your browser of choice. You might also want to consider checking the permissions on your disc.
