After migrating my data to a new computer, and upgrading Firefox and Silverlight, Firefox is no longer able to play videos on Netflix. Any ideas why?

After migrating my data to a new computer, and upgrading Firefox and Silverlight, Firefox is no longer able to play videos on Netflix.

I can play Netflix movies fine on my computer if I log in as a different user, which makes me think the problem lies in the data migration. I'm just not sure where to look to figure out where the problem might be.

I'm on a Macbook Pro Version 10.11.2 OS X with El Capitain.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this applies to the Mac OSX platform or not, http://techblog.netflix.com/2015/12/html5-video-is-now-supported-in-firefox.html

Basically, Netflix uses HTML5 with Firefox 43 and not Silverlight.
