They are also called LSO’s and you can find a Firefox extension and description of what they are here.

Fix for netflix error code n8156-6013. I ran into this problem on a Windows XP machine after i upgraded the Firefox from 4 to 5. It worked perfectly in Chrome which I am using to watch it now. There are several solutions listed in this link.
Living Without Adobe Flash If you have Firefox it gives a link for an extension that will default to HTML5. With all the updates to Flash, and the poor performance on mobile devices it seems inevitable to switch. I shared in the comments the extension for Chrome which I use.
Do you know the extension for Chrome? Its called Video5.

YoNoSoyTu
Free
Loads HTML 5 video instead of using Flash for supported websites. Uses icons from Glyphish http://glyphish.com/.

I have used 3 laptops and all of them have had streaming issues with Netflix. My friend and I both have MacBook with 2GB of ram, and an older Dell Latitude.
I have done the normal troubleshooting steps. I have rebooted the computer, tried it with being minimized or maximized and experimented with different browsers. The worst browser on Mac seems to be Safari, then Firefox. The least problematic seems to be Chrome. Having the screen maximized seems to cause the most problem. Buffering it doesn’t seem to help. The Silverlight preferences don’t offer any help and I am using the newest version.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
I had written a few days ago that I was impressed with Opera 11. It does have some good points. However after installing one extension Shareaholic, it has become less stable and slow than Chrome with 4 extensions including Shareaholic. Very disappointing. It has some nice features like greater security, and better ability to block pop-ups, but the lack of speed and stability are enough to kill it for me.
Firefox seems so far behind the times it is not funny. For example in the newest Firefox you can’t set the option for two webpages to open automatically when you start. You only get the option for one page. Chrome allows you to set at least two start-up webpages. That is what I have set and it seems you can add more. In addition Firefox crashed when showing flash. Come on!
So it seems that Chrome for the Mac has the most stable, fastest and best set of features.
