How to watch Netflix at 1080p on Firefox on any OS Through this article from gHacks, I found out that a dev has released an extension that allows the viewing of 1080p instead of the normal 720p restrictions on any Chrome/Chromium/Firefox browser. These are the official requisites to watch Netflix at their highest resolutions.
Watch your favorite Nexflix video content in Full HD 1080p definition using Firefox with the help of this unobtrusive, lightweight, and simplistic extension
Those of you out there who are massive, die-hard movies and TV series fans may know that Netflix currently offers support for 1080p only for two browsers: Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.
This means that the rest of the world, running other browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, or Opera, are only left with the option of watching Netflix content in 720p resolution. In today’s grand scheme of things (considering today’s potent devices), it might seem like a shame to watch your favorite Netflix shows and movies in 720p, especially if your subscription plan includes 1080p and 4k streaming.
Enjoy 1080p Netflix content while using Firefox
That said, Firefox users will be particularly happy to hear that there’s a simple workaround for this problem and that it comes in the form of a simple and lightweight extension called, quite appropriately, Netflix 1080p.
Inspired by a similar extension for Chrome with the same name (but from a different developer), Netflix 1080p for Firefox removes Firefox’s restrictions and resolution limitations for the world’s most popular streaming service.
Enjoy Full HD quality Netflix content with almost no hassle
By now, there’s a good chance you might be thinking that you’re in for various heavy configuration procedures and lots of under-the-hood work. However, the truth of the matter is things could not have been any simpler.
All you have to do in order to benefit from what this extension has to offer is just install it from the Firefox Add-ons store. Please note that this is a very minimalist extension and that it doesn’t even integrate with Firefox’s toolbar. Once installed, you’ll be able to find the extension in the dedicated Add-ons section, even though there’s no way of interacting with it since there it doesn’t have any type of option of settings section.
Final words
Before we conclude, here are a few things you should know. As expected, this extension might raise your computer’s CPU usage since Netflix was never intended to be played back in 1080p on Firefox. Then there’s also the risk that the team behind Netflix won’t be very happy with the extension and figure out a way to block it.
You may also find that the extension works on almost all videos on Netflix, except a few movies from other studios that have very strict HDCP.To make sure that you’re indeed running Full HD content, search for a text pattern on Netflix and check the resolution in the top-right corner.
It’s true that it may not be the most visually impressive or interactive Firefox extension out there. However, there’s no denying the fact that this little extension does its job very well, and it allows all Firefox users to enjoy all the benefits of watching Netflix content in 1080p
