Surprisingly enough, the Firefox-related issue pertaining to Hulu doesn't seem to exist for iOS users but for Windows users only, specifically those using Windows 10 and above. However, there are some fixes that some people have reported to have solved the problem. One of them has been listed above.

Another way is by simply reverting to a previous version of Mozilla Firefox or reinstalling the current version again. Some have reported that making a switch to the 128.0 or 127.0 version of the browser can help. Others have reported that reinstalling the 129.0 helped them watch episodes without any problem.

When people were unable to stream shows and movies on Hulu, they wondered why that could be happening.

One of the popular conversations occurring on social media is Firefox deliberately putting a stop to the streaming platform's services due to its unique features, one of which is ad-skipping.

Ad-disabling is a feature that cannot be enjoyed by users who are using other browsers while streaming shows and movies on the streaming platform. Some people noted that disabling ads in Firefox would result in financial losses for the browser, so Hulu decided to no longer provide the feature that allowed streaming services to do the same.
