1080p is the highest possible, using an extension

Any higher and you’ll need to sail the seas

Looks like it was banned from the Addons site, however there’s install instructions in the repo:

What was the reason for the removal?

From what I can tell, it was due to including a modified & minified version of Netflix’s actual video player, Cadmium

Yeah it got banned for including the external netflix component. we shall see how we can bring it back

Hi @adamency , There were multiple reasons why it got removed, main one was that the cadmium player is a minified blob and they don’t like that. https://github.com/vladikoff/netflix-1080p-firefox/blob/master/src/cadmium-playercore-1080p.js
