Just try it. I don't usually use netflix on line, I have a roku on my tv so access it from there. But I just used the sign on that came up on google. Just thought if you try a different access you might get in.

OK..I got it to work in Chromium browser
but Firefox still gives me blank white page..
this is just after I had allowed an update to the machine...I am running Linux.
Most likely Firefox and maybe Adobe have screwed something up.

More and more I rely on Chromium anyhow, so I do have a backup way into Netflix.

Netflix isn't exactly fond of Linux. However, as you noted, the Chrome browser appears to be compatible. I would imaging with Firefox you would have to snag some plugins to make it work properly.

for a couple of Firefox updates. I don't know if there is an issue on the Firefox side, but it often won't let me search and other times it will say I couldn't add a movie to my queue, but then when I search in Chrome, it's already in the queue.

Without changing anything in my system, just browser change.

and, sure enough, I now have Netflix working in Chromium.
