I'm not answering your question directly, but you can run the latest Flash Player (a.k.a Pepper Flash Player, which is included in Chrome) on Firefox using the plugin called freshplayerplugin. It translates NPAPI to PPAPI so that Firefox can run Pepper Flash Player instead of Adobe Flash Player. So far it works well for me. (Haven't tried Netflix) I have a bit of personal grudge against Chromium because when I tried to install it quite a while ago, its configure script told me to install lsb_release (I was rushing to a GUI-based web browser), and then it refused to configure itself because I was not running Ubuntu! >.< I hear Chromium tends to run faster than Firefox, but skimming its complex build instructions (particularly its custom build tools), I'm yet to convince myself to try building it. Nevertheless it sounds really interesting.
