I've been watching various video streamers (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) without any issues and then without warning first Peacock's site returned an "incompatible device" error, then Netflix, Hulu, and another service all returned outdated browser errors (see attached Hulu error screen). My basic system info (from safe mode):

A recent kb described this exact problem but assured that upgrading past version 88 would resolve it

[to play videos from streaming services...]

so I'm out of ideas.

Thanks for the feedback @FredMcD , but my user agent said v. 90.

Just went ahead and refreshed Firefox and that fixed the issue.

Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version
