still no Widevine EME support on Linux? for those who are unaware, you still can't watch Netflix on Firefox on Linux because of this.

This was listed as a key feature of this release in the beta notes up until yesterday.

Did they just remove it from the notes, or from the release?

I think it is now auto-configured to detect if it is installed. Or at least that was supposed to be one of the features of this release.

I think Linux support is still only in nightly.

I've tried it out with Netflix but out only works if you spoof your user agent to chrome on Linux, and it's prone to crashing.
