What does HackerNews think of netflix-1080p-firefox?

🍿 Force 1080p Netflix playback in Firefox

Language: JavaScript

I have been using for over a year https://github.com/vladikoff/netflix-1080p-firefox and works fine. But, I see now extension was removed from FF extensions page.

If I knew where to get the one I have installed, I'd send it to you people.

True that they don't support it, not true that it doesn't work, thanks to the wonderful people who take the time to fix other people's bugs. https://github.com/vladikoff/netflix-1080p-firefox

You can actually get some content in 1080p in Chrome and Firefox with a browser extension. It is somewhat unreliable however and some videos still get capped at 720p.
