Firefox update ruined streaming video for me with mandatory HTML5, how do I disable it?
My computer isn't terribly good. It can ruin Flash / Silverlight video alright, but HTML5 plays about 1-2 FPS in it's awful, endless stuttering mess.
I was on Firefox v33 before the update and Netflix used Silverlight. Now that I've updated, both Youtube and Netflix switched to HTML5 with no option to switch back to Silverlight. I had to download an app to force youtube to play in flash, but it still spends a few seconds at the start of each video in HTML5, which is annoyance.
I can find absolutely nothing online to help me disable or forbid Netflix from using HTML5.
I am looking for any of these solutions:
1. Disable HTML5 entirely.
2. Install an app that forces Netflix to use Silverlight.
3. Toggle about:config options that accomplish that.
4. Any other solution that tells sites to stop using HTML5 over Flash for me.
I don't want to have to revert to an older Firefox version, if possible.

What does adobe reader or flash player have to do with HTML5? My flash runs perfectly. HTML5 doesn't. HTML5 is the problem.
HTML5 is a player. FredMcD said
