What version of Firefox are you using? Did you install the Netflix Starlight Player app?

Enable Settings -> DRM -- the Widevine plugin should be provided automatically then.
For as far as I am aware that is all I did to play Netflix (as I did for the first time two days ago streaming to an oldish TV).
:D
