WTF Netflix

[Speeddog]

What is the actual problem if that is the solution??

No idea.

The "Nuke From Orbit" solution seemed overly drastic.

I'm running out of bullets.

Try starting FF in Safe Mode and see if that works any better:

If you're on wi-fi, try it plugged in/cabled. If you haven't rebooted your modem/router/firewall in a while, give it/them a bounce by shutting down and pulling the power for a bit, then reconnecting in proper order.

If you're using wired, check the NIC (ethernet adapter) properties and disable the power saving mode.

If you're using wi-fi, check the wireless adapter and try maxing out the power settings.

Try streaming on another good wi-fi network (campus, bookstore, friends house, etc.) and see if it works better or worse.

Finally, if Flash is still being a booger, they have an uninstaller that does better clean-up than the standard Add-Remove Programs manuever. You do have to search for it for a bit though...

Good luck.

note: netflix doesn't use flash, it uses microsoft silverlight.

i'd recommend looking for steaming info and/or log messages (using the key-combos above) while scrubbing a video to see if that sheds any more light on the issue.
