Since SeaMonkey update to 2.39 I have problem with Netflix. Movie
selection loads normally but playback stays at black screen and no
sound. I reinstalled Silverlight but problem remains. Netflix plays
normally on FF and IE.    Any ideas??
Thank You  BL

I've run into the same thing, and when I tried to watch Jessica Jones about 10 
minutes ago, I just get redirected to the Netflix system requirement page.


The issue is with Netflix not SeaMonkey. Just a common issue pf stupid agentagent sniffing instead of proper object detection to determine browser requirement. The scourge of poor web development. You can see for yourself

Go to about:config

Right-click and create new string key
general.useragent.override
enter value of
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0

Restart browser and try netflix and lo and behold it works.

You can install a userangent string extension, I was just using this a demo. Best thing is to complain to Netflix support and demand that the properly develop their site. If enough folks complain we may not have to endure the "shame" of not using the browser with the approved name.

I did my part. I called them.

Take care,
