Long standing Firefox user.

Recently I've been having F.Fox, run in private mode, it deletes all cache upon exit. With private mode enabled I'm unable to watch anything on Netflix while this same setup in Chrome. I've gone through the entire check for the error and the only thing left is to turn on browser history.

Is this the only way to watch Netflix videos in private mode?

I'd guess Netflix needs IndexedDB, which doesn't work in a private mode. Try to enter about:config in the URL bar and set dom.indexedDB.privateBrowsing.enabled = true and restart the browser.
