Netflix already works in Mozilla Firefox without any add-ons

Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is Ubuntu's default browser. A perfect free web browser for a distribution like Ubuntu but not for many users. The use of web applications and web services has made many users look to other web browsers to be able to enjoy their movies, music or online applications.

But it seems that little by little, the Mozilla community is responding to those users who are looking for other solutions. A) Yes, Mozilla in collaboration with Netflix has made its browser compatible with Netflix.

So far, Ubuntu users who wanted to use Firefox and watch Netflix either used a special plugin or used tricks that ultimately made the web browser itself did not work well and gave some other serious problem.

Netflix already works in any browser for Ubuntu that exists

Now, thanks to the HTML5 standard and the Netflix experience with Chrome on Linux, Firefox users will be able to use Netflix's streaming video service without any problem, they just have to be subscribers of the service like any other user and connect through Firefox.

Of course, for everything to work, the user will have to have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, something that is not impossible and that surely if we have the latest version of Ubuntu, we will comply with it. In any case, in this article we talked a long time ago about how to have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox on Ubuntu.

Now that Ubuntu users are not dependent on having add-ons or not for content with drm, Netflix will not be the only service that can work well in Firefox and that will make that in part, the number of users who use Firefox can be maintained or increased, since personally I think that one of the reasons why Ubuntu users install Chrome is because of the restrictions that Firefox has in some aspects, like this one same.

In any case, it seems that Mozilla is taking serious action with its browser and improving it, something that always comes in handy for Ubuntu and the Ubuntu user Do not you think?

    It was about time, to un-install the outdated 32-bit Chrome that I have.

    I have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, and Netflix still cannot be seen.
    What a most absurd failure.

    I just installed Ubuntu 20.04 and Firefox is supposed to have the latest update, 81 I think and still, I can't see netflix or movistar plus. I have followed all the instructions they have given me, and nothing. That will force me to install Edge when it is operational, which I do not feel like since I just migrated from Windows. I hope a solution..
