Why is Firefox stuck with 720p streaming quality on Netflix?

Microsoft Edge seems to offer us exclusive 4K streaming quality on Netflix.

This is the marketing decision of Netflix to do this. Firefox is prepared from the technical point of view to offer higher qualities.

But you could try to change the UserAgent to Edge's. I'm not sure if it helps, tho.

It is not a Netflix marketing choice. Firefox does not support 4K in any website. And Netflix has no interest in keeping out a part of the market. The problem is not Netflix but Firefox.The browser on windows 10 works great in 4K
