[?] Does Netflix work on Linux in Firefox?

I've tried to totally ignore Netfix to date, though I might change my mind. But I refuse to keep a Windows box running for any reason.

Is anyone streaming movies from Netflix and watching them on a Linux box?

I went to netflix.com to look for the requirements page. None. OK, how about a FAQ. Found one--no mention of requirements or Linux. Googled and ddged, ...

WAIT. Found one: Netflix Warning! (I sure am glad ddg lets me sort by date.)

So I guess you can stream Netflix to a Linux box.

I'm going to post this anyway in case someone has additional information to offer.

Some forums allow you to edit the thread title, but I don't see how here. I'd like to remove '[Solved]'.

That warning message I saw implied you can use Firefox on Linux, but a thread on Netflix' blog has a lot of users that say you can't.

It's actually a delightful read. User after user after user has posted a plea for Linux support!

Apparently it depends on Microsoft's Silverlight, which isn't available for Linux.

Oh, well. I'm not going to run Windows just so I can watch movies.

NAME
recovermov - recover movies from a filesystem image SYNOPSIS
recovermov [options] device DESCRIPTION
Recovermov tries to identify mov movies from a filesystem image. To achieve this goal, it scans the filesystem image and looks for a mov structure at blocks starting at 512 bytes boundaries. OPTIONS
-h Display an help message. -b blocksize Set the size of blocks in bytes. On most file systems, setting it to 512 (the default) will work fine as any large file will be stored on 512 bytes boundaries. Setting it to 1 maximize the chances of finding very small files if the filesystems aggregates them (UFS for example) at the expense of a much longer running time. -i integerindex Set the initial index value for image numbering (default: 0). -n basename Basename to use to create the salvaged files. Default is video_. All the sizes may be suffixed by a k, m or g letter to indicate KiB, MiB or GiB. For example, 6m correspond to 6 MiB (6291456 bytes). EXAMPLES
Recover as many movies as possible from the memory card located in /dev/sdc: recovermov /dev/sdc Recover as many movies as possible from a crashed ReiserFS file system (which does not necessarily store files at block boundaries) in /dev/hdb1: recovermov -b 1 /dev/hdb1 AUTHOR
