Since the Firefox update, Netflix works fine until I arrive at the landing page for videos. it takes time to load, navigation stalls, videos will not play, and the screen freezes. Netflix works on other browsers. I use Bitdefender.

Hey Guy.B

I believe that this maybe because of your adobe flash player. If it is not installed then please install it and try more with the updated version. Also keep JS on , modern sites don't even open without it. I think this will help you.


Have a Happy Movies/Shows with FireFox.
