Every time I open Netflix in Firefox browser, to watch streaming movies, it won't show them but keeps taking me to a page asking me to log in again or pay for a Netflix account. (attached)I already have a Netflix account and can watch streaming movies with no problems on other browsers, but not using Firefox, which is my Default browser.
I suspect your HTTP cookies were cleared. In case you're confused, think of HTTP cookies as small pieces of information that websites store on your computer or device when you visit them. It's like a little note that a website leaves behind to remember you.
Imagine you go to a bakery, and they give you a stamp on your hand so they know you've been there. The next time you come back, they look at the stamp, and they remember what you ordered or what you liked before. HTTP cookies work in a similar way for websites.
These "HTTP cookies" are used to remember things about your visit, like what items you put in your shopping cart on an online store, your login information, or your language preferences. This makes it more convenient for you because you don't have to re-enter the same information every time you visit a website.
Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2016/1/16 04:41 Hello, I have a rather long trip coming up to Japan with my Fianc and I'm sure there will be many nights we'll just want to stay in the room and watch TV/Movies on my tablet before bed.
Is there any particular pocket WiFi you would recommend for large amounts of data use like this? I fear with most plans we would quickly hit our data cap and have our connection slowed as a result.by Higgz
Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2016/1/16 07:58 There are several companies that have unlimited downloads, but there's usually a cap where it starts to slow. I think your biggest problem would actually be the proxy; you won't be able to access Netflix outside of your home country without a proxy to sneak around it (source: can't get American Netflix in Australia without some cheating).by sq (guest)rate this post as useful
Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2016/1/18 11:14 as above - the main problem will be a restricted service once you have watched too much. Within a day or two your device will be near useless.
You would be much better off loading up your laptop with media before you go.by pas7680rate this post as useful
Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2016/1/18 11:17 Most Japanese hotels offer free internet in the room, so data caps shouldn't be an issue. The main problem is being able to access NA Netflix in Japan. You'll need to run a vpn or proxy to do that, but it may make steaming untenable. You might want to dl movies to your device instead just in case.by yllwsmrfrate this post as useful
Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2016/1/18 12:20 Also, Netflix recently announced that they will be stopping proxies accessing Netflix from overseas. So you won't be able to go that route anyway.by sq (guest)rate this post as useful
Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2016/1/19 01:50 Thanks for the replies everybody. I'll be trying to use hotel Wi-Fi when I can, but they can often be slow. I think I'll still think it makes sense to get the highest limit I can get. I'm willing to pay, but it seems no company offers anything that is unlimited.
I don't believe the Netflix proxy ban is completely in effect yet, and there are ways around it regardless.
Pupuru has one that says unlimited, but I don't know if it is truly unlimited, I really wish they would make note of their limits more clearly rather than simply calling most plans unlimited!by Higgzrate this post as useful
Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2016/1/21 16:42 Actually at Sakura Mobile it is possible to choose data package with no cap which makes it unlimited. The thing is that it is up to you how much you want to order. However, speed stays fast so that movie streaming is super possible! I used 10 GB plan so my kids could watch cartoons occasionally.

Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2016/1/22 08:26 Thank you Tommy! That's perfect. So you can get 10GB and then tack on additional data as needed; exactly what I needed, and the price seems very reasonable as well.
How did you find the speed? HD video worthy? Did you happen to travel in Hokkaido of Tohoku? Those will be my primary areas for my first month in Japan.by Higgzrate this post as useful
Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2016/1/22 23:22 I have a Netflix U.S. account, and since there is a Netflix Japan now, you can easily log in with your credentials on Netflix Japan. Your selection is limited, but won't ruin your evening.by Guest (guest)rate this post as useful
Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2017/3/17 15:09 Most of the hotels in Japan offers free internet connection, so internet is not the problem. The only problem is you can't able to access US Netflix Netflix in Japan. You will need a PureVPN -vpn-service.php to connect US server to access US Netflix or you can download movies on your device.by crasskittyrate this post as useful
Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2017/3/18 23:34 Netflix has recently (I know on iPad/iPhone for sure) started allowing downloads.... So you could download your favourite films/series' at home and watch them even on the plane in offline mode. There are a few things you can't download, but I it's worth looking at.by SwiftyRichrate this post as useful

Re: Stream Movies/TV (Netflix) via pocket WiFi?2017/3/19 20:09 I agree, the internet won't be much of a problem for streaming to a tablet. The problem is going to be either the proxy or VPN. You would be better off taking the media files with you or loading them onto your tablet.by PsyGuyrate this post as useful
Netflix is an American subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service. The service primarily distributes original and acquired films and television shows from various genres, and it is available internationally in multiple languages.[6]
Launched on January 16, 2007, nearly a decade after Netflix, Inc. began its pioneering DVD-by-mail movie rental service, Netflix is the most-subscribed video on demand streaming media services, with over 277.7 million paid memberships in more than 190 countries as of July 2024.[5][7] By 2022, "Netflix Original" productions accounted for half of its library in the United States and the namesake company had ventured into other categories, such as video game publishing of mobile games through its flagship service. As of October 2023, Netflix is the 23rd most-visited website in the world, with 23.66% of its traffic coming from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom at 5.84% and Brazil at 5.64%.[8][9]
Initially, Netflix offered a per-rental model for each DVD but introduced a monthly subscription concept in September 1999.[20] The per-rental model was dropped by early 2000, allowing the company to focus on the business model of flat-fee unlimited rentals without due dates, late fees, shipping and handling fees, or per-title rental fees.[21] In September 2000, during the dot-com bubble, while Netflix was suffering losses, Hastings and Randolph offered to sell the company to Blockbuster for $50 million. John Antioco, CEO of Blockbuster, thought the offer was a joke and declined, saying, "The dot-com hysteria is completely overblown."[22][23] While Netflix experienced fast growth in early 2001, the continued effects of the dot-com bubble collapse and the September 11 attacks caused the company to hold off plans for its initial public offering (IPO) and to lay off one-third of its 120 employees.[24]
DVD players were a popular gift for holiday sales in late 2001, and demand for DVD subscription services were "growing like crazy", according to chief talent officer Patty McCord.[25] The company went public on May 23, 2002, selling 5.5 million shares of common stock at US$15.00 per share.[26] In 2003, Netflix was issued a patent by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office to cover its subscription rental service and several extensions.[27] Netflix posted its first profit in 2003, earning $6.5 million on revenues of $272 million; by 2004, profit had increased to $49 million on over $500 million in revenues.[28] In 2005, 35,000 different films were available, and Netflix shipped 1 million DVDs out every day.[29]
In 2004, Blockbuster introduced a DVD rental service, which not only allowed users to check out titles through online sites but allowed for them to return them at brick and-mortar stores.[30] By 2006, Blockbuster's service reached two million users, and while trailing Netflix's subscriber count, was drawing business away from Netflix. Netflix lowered fees in 2007.[28] While it was an urban legend that Netflix ultimately "killed" Blockbuster in the DVD rental market, Blockbuster's debt load and internal disagreements hurt the company.[30]
