So, I'm a big Netflix fan and have recently come back to Firefox after not using for about a year or so, only there is a problem. When I try to watch something on Netflix the back button stops working entirely once I've started to watch something. It works everywhere else, in multiple tabs, on different websites, just not Netflix and only when I'm watching something. The only way to get back out of the program I've selected to watch is to go into the address bar and type in the Netflix home address and hit enter. I'd much rather hit just the back button but for some reason it doesn't work.

Can anyone please help with this?

I bypass this by opening links in new tabs.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

No, it appears to be gone. But the only add on I had activated was Ublock Origin. Could that have been causing it?

LaughingTree:

I use the latest version of uBlock Origin and cannot see this issue while watching Alias on Netflix. Perhaps it was uBlock that was causing the issue. Either way, it seems your problem is gone. If you need any more assistance on this issue, feel free to comment in this thread.
