Accoridng to the Netflix support pages (and I tested and confirmed it on my computer), in order for Firefox to be able to play Netflix video, you need to:
Enable playback of HTML5 DRM media in Firefox. To do that, type
about:preferences#contenton the addres bar, and check "Play DRM Content".Try to watch the DRM-protected Netflix video again.
Wait for Firefox to automatically install the "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google, Inc" plugin (Firefox will automatically install it when you first try to watch any Netflix video).
A dialog similar to the one below is displayed, just click "yes":
you can check that it is installed by visiting
about:addonsand clicking "plugins", there will be an entry named "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google, Inc"

This helped but changed the error message for me. I was also getting "The video on this page can’t be played. Your system may not have the required video codecs for: video/mp4;codecs=avc1.640028, audio/mp4; codecs="mp4a.40.5" after a quick Google I found out I needed to install libav-tools and restart Firefox.
