Lucky that I compile Firefox from source anyway, even if it was originally to get proper Qt support.

In the future we’ll have to use IceWeasel then :/

Firefox will support closed-source DRM, but it won't distribute it:

As plugins today, the CDM itself will be distributed by Adobe and will not be included in Firefox. The browser will download the CDM from Adobe and activate it based on user consent.
