Summary
⚠️ As of June 2019, the dependency extension described below is unavailable on addons.mozilla.org.
⚠️ The addon Better Netflix claims to automatically force the highest video bitrate, without any dependencies, and may therefore be a superior alternative to this addon.
Enforce the highest available bitrate for any Netflix title in Firefox. Works for both audio and video.
This extension requires the hidden Netflix bitrate menu to be active and accessible by the CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + S keyboard combination. As of this publication, Netflix has disabled the bitrate menu, but certain browser extensions have reenabled it. The Force 1080p playback for Netflix extension is one such plugin, and is recommended due to its complementary behavior.
