Save Firefox - Hackdot

For a normal user, the problem is that the Play DRM content checkbox is hidden by default.

In order to enable it, you must go to about:config and enable browser.eme.ui.enabled. While you are there, you can just disable media.eme.enabled and media.eme.apiVisible.

Are you on Linux? The "Play DRM content" checkbox is shown by default on Windows and Mac OS X.

The default for OSX is hidden - http://imgur.com/3AdT6Vs (46.0.1)

On Windows, it is shown indeed (45.1.1 ESR).

Thanks for the correction. I forgot that EME support (using Google's Widevine CDM) won't ship on OS X until Firefox 47, which is still in the Firefox Beta channel for another few weeks.
