A bit off topic, but since I saw some complaints about DRM, Mozilla does distribute an "EME" free version of the browser also. This disables the plugin download and removes the checkbox altogether.
The only place I've ever found it was via the ftp (or http to the ftp site):
Example for the latest version as of this post: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/50.1.0/ https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/50.1.0/ just look for the EME free folders.
Also the 'learn more page': https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-drm https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-drm

- cpeterso 10y agoThe only difference between the "EME-free" and regular version of Firefox is the default value of the "media.eme.enabled" about:config pref. This pref is also disabled by default on Linux. When this pref is disabled, Firefox won't automatically download the Google Widevine CDM or expose the EME API to web content. If you already have Firefox installed, just unchecking the "Play DRM content" setting in about:preferences#content will have the same effect without requiring you to install a special build of Firefox.
