> When I use netflix, I have a much better experience.

If you're on Linux, you won't be able to stream at 1080p, let alone 4k. Netflix even went out of their way to disable workarounds that users developed.

1) I'm not on Linux. 2) I'd rather have the convenience of streaming at all than the best possible resolution.

I don't know what the resolution of my TV is, but I highly doubt it's over 1080p, if that.

Streaming above 720p also doesn't work via Firefox on any operating system.

According to the test pattern videos I'm getting 1080p in Firefox on Windows

Try "actual" content videos. You can press ctrl+alt+shift+D to open a debug overlay that shows the playback resolution.

The actual DRM limitations also vary by content (and region) - with some titles I get 720p on Linux while some other titles are limited to SD, while I get 1080p on Windows Edge on those same titles.

They may not have the same DRM restrictions as actual content? It's not that Firefox is not technically capable of rendering the videos, it's that it doesn't give the DRM the control that Netflix and rightholders want to require in exchange.
