Recently on websites like Netflix (the movie player) and of yahoo (the newer updated version) it says my computer doesn't meet the system requirements. I have a 2009 Macbook that runs os x lion and all of my browsers are up to date. I don't know what is wrong. Please help!
Got a tip for us?

Do you have flash player installed? Lion does not have it pre-installed like previous versions. If you do have flash installed then it is probably the websites that need to update not recognizing lion or the version of safari.
+1. Check out the adobe website and if you're not running 10.3xxx then you need to update flash.

Netflix requires Silverlight, not Flash, to play videos. When you try to play a movie, Netflix should prompt you to download Silverlight.
If it doesn't, try uninstalling Silverlight and reinstall by doing what I mentioned above. Some recent versions of Silverlight have problems, but the one suggested by Netflix works fine.
