Stream Netflix on Linux with Ease
Netflix Fixer for Linux is a Firefox add-on designed to facilitate seamless streaming of Netflix on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. This subscription-based multimedia tool utilizes the latest WebExtension and ES6 technologies, requiring Firefox version 48 or higher to operate effectively. It addresses the compatibility issues that arise due to Netflix's reliance on Microsoft Silverlight, which is not natively supported on Linux platforms.
To enable Netflix streaming, users must install Pipelight, which integrates Silverlight into the Firefox browser by leveraging WINE and NPAPI technology. The add-on also includes features to spoof the user agent string, allowing users to bypass restrictions that block Linux users from accessing certain content. With regular updates planned for compatibility with new Firefox versions, Netflix Fixer aims to ensure a smooth viewing experience for Linux users.
