Netflix uses HTML5 video in 64-bit Firefox, but many regional video services (such as Amazon Video, Canal+, and HBO Go in Europe) still rely on Silverlight. 64-bit Firefox users would not be able to use those services without 64-bit Silverlight. In the meantime, those services can migrate to HTML5 video.

Firefox is going to party like it’s 2013?

Now they only find a few tracking cookies and nothing else.
