Details

NOW TV is a streaming service. It works with Firefox 51, but doesn't work with Firefox 52, because they are using Silverlight.
It works with Chrome without Silverlight.
Same scenario than https://webcompat.com/issues/5090

which URI did you test?

I haven't tested this directly, a friend reported the issue to me.
I've read their documentation, that specifically says Firefox 52 and Edge are not supported and Chrome is:

I believe they are using EME on Chrome.

I've tried to contact them using the contact form, they said they will get back to me.

Ok will wait for their answer.
Thanks Marco.
It's been almost a month, I think they are not going to answer.
Do you want to try to contact them on the UK version (www.nowtv.com)?

Probably something to explore here. I will try something. I keep myself in ni to come back to it.

According to this thread it doesn't seem it will be fixed quickly. But it is said that they are working on it.

Some people in the thread recommends to use Firefox 52 ESR  to be able to continue to use the plugin.

it seems more general than Firefox.

it seems more general than Firefox.

It seems they have switched to a native app and no longer support any browser.
