Public bug reported: After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 the Widevine plugin of Firefox crashes when trying to watch a video, while Widevine works fine in Chrome. Before upgrading it worked without problems with the same Firefox version. So I assume there is some conflict with Ubuntu.
This happens on all my three devices. I logged into guest mode and tried it there, but same problem occurs. One of some crash reports I sent with Firefox: https://crash- stats.mozilla.com/report/index/088a0c5c-5509-423b-8347-6ed842161022#tab- details My corresponding question on askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/840511/firefox-widevine-plugin-crashes- immediately-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-16-10 ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: widevine ** Description changed: - After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 the Widevine plugin of Firefox crashes when trying to watch a video. - Before it worked without problems with the same Firefox version.
