Firefox 90 on Linux not working even on test video

[DistantThunder]

Title speaks for itself.

Firefox 90.0.2 Addon version: 1.16.0

Used https://www.netflix.com/title/80018499 for testing.

Anything more I can do for help?

Definitely going to need information about your environment, as it works for me on Linux.

That's really strange. I tested with a very similar Linux environment (although Gentoo).

Try this: Hit F12 for the javascript tools, to go the Debugger tab, and figure out which host is loading the cadmium-playercore javascript. It should be assets.nflxext.com or a subdomain of a.nflxso.net, but if it's something else, I'd need to make an update.

Netflix sometimes changes this stuff, but it's strange that your video is getting 540p instead of 720p (which is what it should be without the extension).

It appears loaded through one of the hosts you mention.

What's a bit weird is that over multiple reloads, it's not the same size:$

Dynamic obfuscation?

Happens for me too under Gnome on Arch. cadmium playercore is loaded from assets.nflxext.com for me. I only see one load.
