Problem is here that the wrong version of widevine is installed for firefox-esr 60.5.0. You can manually fix this by downloading (please check the in-sources list for non-x64 binary urls [1] on in firefox using the URL chrome://global/content/gmp-sources/widevinecdm.json ): #check first what your profile is called and manually save it as $firefox_profile ls -ld ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default mkdir test cd test wget https://redirector.gvt1.com/edgedl/widevine-cdm/4.10.1196.0-linux-x64.zip unzip 4.10.1196.0-linux-x64.zip rm -rf "${firefox_profile}"/gmp-widevinecdm/* mkdir "${firefox_profile}"/gmp-widevinecdm/1.4.8.1008/ cp libwidevinecdm.so LICENSE.txt manifest.json "${firefox_profile}"/gmp- widevinecdm/1.4.8.1008/ After doing that, you can just go to https://demo.castlabs.com/ and play one of the DRM versions. I have also verified this with netflix and some known DRM shows on tvnow.de. It is currently unknown to me why the browser still downloads 1.4.8.1008. Even when removing my .mozilla directory. Is this inserted by some external service which still thinks that 60.x.0 is compatible to 1.4.8.1008 and not to 4.10.1196.0? I would therefore guess that the aus service of Mozilla is broken https://aus5.mozilla.org/update/3/GMP/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/ %LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/ update.xml In my case it is https://aus5.mozilla.org//update/3/GMP/60.5.0/20190130005301/ Linux_x86_64-gcc3/null/default/Linux%204.19.0-1- amd64%20(GTK%203.24.4%2Clibpulse%2012.2.0)/default/default/update.xml and it really references the wrong widevine version. Does anyone know how to contact the admins of this service?
