I don't think you can even view Netflix movies in Linux at all, can you? Even with Wine?
I'm sure that doing something as simple as trying it with Fennec will NOT work unless something elaborate is done. There's an add-on that emulates Windows Explorer, but not in a non-Windows environment.

I have NOT tried netFlix on N800 or N900. I am using ORB to stream whatever/liveTV and it is very watchable. ORB recode-encode on the fly and stream to your N900/N800. It is also transparant to users. I have tried ORB on N800 and it is also running fine. If NetFlix is doing similar to what I am doing, I do not see why there would be a problem. ORB has a pretty large forum and eager to help.

Sorry, Den.

I doubt the N8x0 has the power to process it anyways.

You don't need a windows environment for it.. You can watch netflix on iphones and Ipods.. its all about DRM's(microsoft) ... linux cannot have silverlight(which netflix uses for browsers) & moonlight is not enough but now as it has been ported for iOS's
I'm pretty sure netflix people will work on a way to port it to linux and once its there.. someone will be able to port it.

I've been assuming that we are talking about Instant Watch movies, BTW, but it's not specifically mentioned above. Of course other movies from Netflix would work, they are just movies like any other.
I googled around and indications are that few if any people are viewing Instant Watch Netflix movies in any brand of Linux.

Update: I installed Fennec and when I try to watch a movie, Netflix still gives the message "streaming is not supported for your operating system".
Also, after uninstalling Fennec make sure that you also uninstall Xulrunner which was loaded along with Fennec and uses 16mb of application memory.
