You have to use Google Chrome. Firefox doesn't have the required functionality

Thank you actionparsnip (there's a phrase you don't hear every day), that's what I have been doing but was interested to see if there was a work-around available for the Fox. So is that a definite No?

Not at present. There are some proprietary blobs in Chrome that Netflix needs to run
