Bug Description
Steps to reproduce the issue:
=======
1) Enable digital rights management support in FireFox (Preferences -> General)
2) sudo aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.
3) Navigate to a site which has protected content (I tested this using crunchyroll.com)
FireFox should display a yellow bar at the top letting you know Widevine has crashed.
Workaround:
=======
I corrected this problem by adding the following line to usr.bin.firefox:
owner /home/*
Conclusion:
=======
Maybe the default FireFox profile can be updated in a way that allows it to play nice with Widevine in the future.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
