Netflix has recently addressed one of its compatibility concerns by enabling Firefox to stream Netflix videos on a Linux platform. Netflix doesn’ t officially support Linux, but that doesn’ t mean it wasn’ t accessible to the Linux users, as Google chrome, with EME SUPPORT came in handy to them for the last two years.

Now, as of yesterday, team Netflix has announced that those who use Netflix on Linux can access the video streamed by them via Firefox too.

Also, this recent development eliminates the need to install any plug-ins to access Netflix, and from now on there isn’ t any necessity to use chrome’ s Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology to access any of the videos from Netflix.

Netflix has stated that it wants to expand its Ultra HD 4K video playback to more platforms soon, and their team is working on it. After the launch of Microsoft Edge browser back in December, their next aim is to bring HDR video to their service, but the company didn’ t release much information on that. Interestingly, Netflix nemesis Amazon already offers HDR content, which can be viewed on TVs with the correct support.

Netflix has also announced the HTML5 video support, a feature the company was developing for the past four years, to ChromeOS, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, Firefox, Edge and other supporting platforms.

Q

Why do I see a charge on my card when I signed up for a free trial?

A

Netflix verifies your payment details when they’re added or updated on an account. This process helps us ensure that the information provided is associated with a valid, open account that can be charged successfully in the future. We validate the information by submitting an authorization for roughly the same amount as the cost of the monthly Netflix membership. These requests are not charges, but the authorization amount may temporarily affect your available balance while your financial institution ensures you have sufficient funds.

When this authorization returns a successful result, we immediately send an automatic reversal requesting that the financial institution remove the authorization from your statement. While the request is immediate, it may take several days to reflect in your account. Check with your financial institution to see when you can expect the funds to be released.

Q

Why am I seeing multiple charges on my statement?

A

We will only charge you once a month for a Netflix subscription. If you see more charges than you expected, you may be seeing a temporary authorization. We will send an authorization whenever you open a new account or update your payment information. If you did not recently open an account or update your payment information, check your statements for previous unexpected charges. If you have verified with your financial institution that they are actual charges, please click Start Live Chat or Call Us below so we can help you investigate.

Q

Why am I seeing a message that there’s a problem with my payment method?

A

Netflix was unable to collect a payment because the card issuer or financial institution rejected the monthly charge. To resolve the issue, sign in to your Netflix account and update or change your payment method. We will verify the new information, and notify you as soon as the payment is successful.

If you're still having trouble updating your account with new payment information, you may want to reach out to your card issuer or financial institution to ensure the payment information is up to date and supports e-commerce transactions.

Q

How do I see my Netflix billing history or monthly invoice?

A

If you would like to see your billing history, click on Billing Details from your Account page. You can also select individual dates to see and print that month's invoice.
