Netflix supports a particular CDM (Widevine). That CDM isn't supported (yet) in chrome for desktops. It is supported on IE11 for desktops and on Chrome for chromebooks. The CDM provider (Widevine) has not made the CDM runtime available to other parties. And they aren't planing on making them available to open source projects. I know this because I asked them for a runtime and documentation, insistently, and every single integration partner refused to deliver one. Just like I will be unable to obtain a CDM and documentation, Mozilla will be unable to. Not because Mozilla is so much bigger than I am, but because Widevine does not make their CDM available for open source use. They don't make it available, because it would mean that you could circumvent the DRM in it really easy (you just tell the CDM to give you the plain content you want to dump to disk). That means that Mozilla has no avenue open to obtain CDM that works with Netflix, and they can't reverse engineer the one found in IE11 and Chrome on Chromebooks, because that would be a violation of the DMCAs anti DRM circumvention clauses.
