So did Firefox have to ask permission from google? Or do they just do it without asking? Sorry I don’t know much about this.

  I suspect the issue is that Firefox uses Widevine in a straightforward manner (play the content to one browser), whereas OP’s scenario needs some sort of additional insight in what the plugin is doing.

  Firefox does need cooperation from widevine for their solution to work.
