Open netflix. Even with a lot of features turned off and DRM enabled, it will regularly fail to load any content.

And, yes, the general user will want sites like netflix to work.

Weird, app.plex.tv, emby client, jellyfin client, netflix.com, and prime video at https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ are all currently working for me. Can you share your LibreWolf config? Maybe I can help you fix it.

No need. It seem it got fixed along the way. But that's the point; I tried this a year ago, and it would not work, either under the default configuration with DRM enabled, or after disabling most of the privacy features, so I just gave up on it.

Firefox, for all the flaws regarding the direction Mozilla is taking, just worked out of the box. And for adoption, working out of the box immediately is kind of a requirement.

It would be helpful that when you report something is working or not, that you test a modern version, or you state when you last had the failure. Misinformation is not something we should be spreading. It can do far more harm than good.

Also hopefully the top comments config script works for you or you've found an alternative browser like WaterFox or others.
