Update to 115.0.2 causes "widevinecdm has crashed" on NF, similar on all other streaming sites. Tried turning plugin on/off, refreshing FF, no luck.
DRM add-on seems broken after update. Obviously this renders ALL the streaming sites I pay for useless. How do I fix it? The people who make the plug-in won't talk to end users and anyway I got it to work after DL-ing another browser (Opera). I like FF but their unwanted updates only seem to cause problems and take away features I like. Is there any way short of moving to another browser that can fix this? All my streaming DRM sites I pay for seem to be broken now. I have brand a new Win11 Asus ROG Strix 17 that had been working fine until last night when I made the mistake of updating FF. As noted, a refresh didn't help. Frankly this is insane, and I'm finally done with FF unless someone comes up with a fix for this.

No answer, nothing from Mozzila except another update THAT STILL HAS BROKEN Widevine DRM. I've tried about a dozen different methods I've seen claiming to fix this precise problem and nothing works. I'm done with this piece of crap that can't even do one of the most basic functions (streaming) one uses a computer for. I advise everyone else to avoid Firefox like the plague it is. I have switched to another browser which actually functions. Mozilla has managed to create more hassle for me on a computing device than I have ever experienced, and I go all the way back to the Apple II at the dawn of the personal computing age. The worst part is that there is no way to talk to anyone at Mozilla support. My final message to them is this: FUCK YOU ALL! If you treat your users like dirt, this is what happens.
DRM is fragile, it can be broken simply by renaming firefox.exe or having debugger software running in the background. Reinstall Firefox, restart your system, terminate background apps and try to make your system as clean as possible.
