Another thing to check, in FF settings, DRM check box:

Settings -> General -> Digital Rights Management (DRM) Content

check the box for "Play DRM-controlled content"

You should then get (automatic?) installed 2 plugins:

OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.
Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc

These are required for any DRM content.


Have Fun!
