Since recent updates to Firefox, the browser is becoming less and less usable it seems. Now, Netlix website has issues as well.

When updating star ratings, it doesn't remember your settings, when refreshing or going back to your queue, your rating setting turns back to red, also does this on the recently shipped page, it doesn't remember.

Also, when adding a movie to your queue, a window pops up and says, there was trouble adding the movie to the queue, but when refreshing the page, it was added.

These types of things never happened in FF before.

The website works just fine using MSFT Edge, so, it's something which has changed in one of the FF updates. Even opening up the security setting for the website which blocks the images, doesn't help.
