Yes, netflix will run in Firefox 47. You may have to install the silverlight plugin, https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
I have replaced silverlight 4 times. Netflix still does not run. my mac is a mid 2012 manufacture. would that maybe cause the problem. I am going to return to the previous version of firefox.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Firefox 42+ has a Tracking Protection feature that is enabled by default in Private Browsing mode. When you are in private browsing mode then Firefox can show a shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar that some content is affected.
You can disable this feature in "Options/Preferences > Privacy" or via the about:privatebrowsing page that get when you open a New Private Window.
