The drop-down list New tabs contains two options, 'Firefox Home' and 'Blank page', which you can use. The same way you can configure the New Tab Page in Firefox. Fast, open and free-to-use new tab page for modern browsers. The home page will be set to the address you have moved. A confirmation will appear.Ĭlick Yes and you are done. You can change your home page by dragging an URL from the address bar and dropping it onto the Home button on the toolbar. Tip: There is a lesser known feature in Firefox. The second one allows adding a bookmark to your home pages. The first one will add all opened web sites and document to your home page URLs.

There are buttons 'Use Current Page' and 'Use Bookmark'.

The URLs you have specified will open next time you start the browser or press the Home button. For example, you can enter ||, and so on. , or specify a few URLs separated by I (the vertical bar character).

For the Custom URL(s) option, fill in the text box below.

On the right, you can set the option Homepage and new windows to Firefox Home (which is a special customizable web page with frequently visited web sites, highlights, and other options), to the blank page, or select the Custom URL(s) option.

Click on the hamburger button to open the menu. There is a way to do this without a extension, I dont remember the process now but, it involved making two js files one of which would set the url or local file for the new tab.

To change the home page in Mozilla Firefox, do the following. Also, here you can specify the desired home page. You can add or remove Web Search, Top Sites, Highlights, and more. It allows changing various options of the New Tab page, including disabling extensions which replace the new tab page. Version 61 of Firefox includes a new 'Home' page in Settings. The engine renders web pages much faster than it ever did in the Gecko era. The user interface of the app is more responsive and it also starts up noticeably faster. Thanks to the changes made to the engine and the UI, the browser is blazingly fast.

The browser now comes without support for XUL-based add-ons, so all of the classic add-ons are deprecated and incompatible.

It comes with a refined user interface, codenamed 'Photon'. So it looks like that Netflix “do not care”.Firefox 61 represents the branch built with the new Quantum engine.

Yes, Netflix could easily “broke” this extension but I’m using it from years and it is still working (periodically update needed but probably related to Netflix website changes). Technically speaking “Netflix 1080p” it is not plugin, it is extension (no direct access to system). > “I suspect that whatever loophole this plugin uses will be plugged up soon enough.” It is rather “political” decision to restrict 1080p/4K only to TVs/Android/IE/Edge/MetroUWP app. Technically there is no problem to support 1080p/4K in Firefox or any other browser. Plugins could do what they want no matter what browser is “underneath” (including block recording windows with HDCP protected media). DRM plugins have direct access to system (and via system -> to HDCP protection if system and hardware support it). Browsers support DRM via Widevine/PlayReady/FairPlay plugins. All browsers do not support DRM by itself. Other browsers don’t have hardware DRM accessibility, so the resolution is capped by streaming platforms to make it not worth capturing.” because those combos can enforce hardware DRM, preventing screen capture.

> “I believe the resolution is uncapped (or less of a cap) in Edge on Windows and Safari on Mac etc. If it works for you as well, let me know in the comments.

Rant aside, I hope this helps you play Netflix in full HD on Firefox. No wonder Firefox sees a continual decline. Similarly, Netflix streams full HD on Chrome in ChromeOS but not on Linux.Īnd Mozilla, with all its might, could not convince Netflix and these streaming services to bring high-quality streaming to its flagship browser. What baffles me is why streaming services ignore Firefox and other “non-official browsers”? Netflix plays full HD on Edge in Windows but not on Edge in Linux or other operating systems. I don’t know why Firefox could not do this on its own when a lone developer did it by creating an extension. I hope the developer of the extension also brings the 4K feature.

While it plays ultra HD content on MS Edge browser in Windows 11, it got stuck at 1080p even with the extension. It DOES NOT work with Amazon Prime Video, Diseny+ and other streaming services.Īlso, it won’t play Netflix in ultra HD (UHD or 4K).

Netflix now displays the content in 1080 pixels (1080 is now HD, 720p is SD)
