I have found the source of the problem that was causing FF to be stuck in an infinite loop of telling me 'Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio or video on this page', and it seems to be that FF is unable for some reason to download this 'Widevine Content Decryption Module'. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas what to do?

I have already tried so many things; reinstalling, safe mode, new profile, turning DRM off and on again, clearing all my data, etc. and nothing so far has worked. I already made a post about this but I hope this new info can help people figure out what's up here.

If you're experiencing similar DRM problems you can check if it's the same thing by checking in the addons section to see if there's a message saying 'Widevine Content Decryption Module will be installed shortly'.

Amazon video playback isn't working for me on Opera for Mac OS X 10.8.3. I have Opera 37.0.

It returns a DRM message:

Digital Rights Error
Your web browser is missing a digital rights component. In the address bar, go to opera://plugins and ensure Widevine Content Decryption Module is enabled.

When I go to opera://plugins, it says the status of Widevine Content Decryption Module is enabled (or at least inferred by the only button label being, 'Disable').

Plugin info: com.operasoftware.Opera/WidevineCDM/1.4.8.885/_platform_specific/mac_x64/widevinecdmadapter.plugin

What's interesting is I don't have any problem playing YouTube videos, but when I go to html5test.com, it says the H.264 video is not working. When I check on Firefox, it is working and videos work on Amazon through Firefox for Mac.
