wow, ok so firefox is going to include a DRM binary from adobe inside a "sandbox". it will no longer be 100% free software.

The reason for implementing DRM is to kill DRM, somehow..I think this is just post-hoc justification for the bad decision of compromising their core ideals for the sake of market share.

After making so much noise about open web and open standards, they go out and do this.

I really hope this is on an opt-in basis or I'd have to switch to Iceweasel which I really don't want to do.

they won't just have a thing in firefox to install the CDM binary from adobe, they're actually going to ship it - unlike "health report" you will have to agree before the thing runs..
