I've called Netflix twice with the error code F7361-1253 that shows up, to no avail. The first time the guy said it wasn't a Netflix code and didn't know what to do. The second time a different guy said to go to Internet Explorer to see if Netflix would play. Since it did, he said the problem was with Firefox. I have tried updating plug-ins, and refreshing Firefox, but nothing is working.

Just download the installer here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

You can uninstall Firefox Beta after installing the release version with the installer from the URL above, or you can just keep it.

I see you're using the Beta version of Firefox. Support for Netflix using the new Primetime Content Decryption Module is not complete in Firefox 38.

You'll need use Firefox 37 (the current version) with Microsoft Silverlight to watch videos on Netflix.
