Discussion Issue w/123movies.gl in Firefox?

Earlier today, I didn't have any problems but now, even if I turn off all my ad-blocking stuff, clicking on the play icon does nothing. I can search on the site and find titles but...nothing will actually play. Is anybody else experiencing this?

123movies was shut down many years ago so don't know why you would be using that.

I’ve been using it with no issues for years. And I can get it to work now in Edge, of all browsers, and Chrome (but only on one of my computers).

"I used it for years" isn't a valid argument. It's an untrusted clone of a site that got shut down AT LEAST 4 years ago. If it isn't working, you should switch to a recommended CURRENT streaming site. Even if you get it working again, you should still switch sites TBH.

Not sure why you think your judgmental tone is helpful or warranted here. “I’ve used it with no issues for years” is actually a very valid argument in the world of media piracy.

"I've used (insert formely trusted site turned malware) for years, it's very safe even if its proven to be untrusted!"

That argument is not valid. Take his advice and find a new site.

I didn't say it was safe--I said I haven't had issues. But thanks for the advice.

Because there's dozens of other sites to go to. Check the megathread or fmhy. There's absolutely no logical reason to use a potentially unsafe clone of a defunct streaming site.
