I think this could not be universally applicable as netflix still not available in India.

And for your query, I would like to suggest two common solutions:

1. Check with safe mode firefox: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

2. Create a new profile:  http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

IMO, this is mainly extension compatibility issue.

So, I am moving this to :

Component: Untriaged -> Extension Compatibility   [bugday-20131021]

closed, because there was no feedback by reporter after suggestons for better testing.
as part 2 there was some improvements on video in the last versions of Firefox.

please feel free to reopen this if you have new information.
