Won't connect to Netflix

more options

Good day. I've used Mozilla Firefox as my browser for as long as I can remember. I am now 70 years old and my best time of the evening is when I watch my Netflix series or a movie. Since 2 nights ago, however, Firefox is blocking access on both my laptops with the message "Did not Connect: Potential Security Risk" and it doesn't allow me to bypass this. It is very upsetting and I cannot understand why Netflix would suddenly have become a security risk. My son--in-law in the UK talked me through how to load another browser, which I did, and was then able to watch Netflix. The other browser didn't block it! So why does yours. I quite frankly would prefer to continue to keep Firefox as my default browser, but it seems silly to have to use a second browser just to watch Netflix? Your assistance in sorting out this problem would be very much appreciated. Thank you Sue Taylor (Ms)
