Apologies, the URL is: https://gnuzilla.gnu.org/mozzarella/. It is used
because addons.mozilla.org contains nonfree extensions, from [1]:
A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any
nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so. The
system should have no repositories for nonfree software and no
specific recipes for installation of particular nonfree programs. Nor
should the distribution refer to third-party repositories that are not
committed to only including free software; even if they only have free
software today, that may not be true tomorrow. Programs in the system
should not suggest installing nonfree plugins, documentation, and so
on.
For instance, a free system distribution must not contain browsers
that implement EME, the browser functionality designed to load DRM
modules.

Interesting, I applied the patch series onto 551d013, built librewolf,
removed ~/.librewolf and ~/.mozilla, started librewolf and went to
about:config, where 'browser.eme.ui.enabled' has the default value
'true', so I can see and toggle the checkbox for 'play DRM-controlled
content' in about:preferences. I don't know why 'browser.eme.ui.enabled'
is 'true' by default for me, but I think adding --disable-eme will set
the default to 'false', like it is in the icecat-minimal about:config.
Looking at the firefox source [2], 'browser.eme.ui.enabled' is set to
true if MOZ_WIDEVINE_EME is defined, false otherwise. MOZ_WIDEVINE_EME
gets defined by being in MOZ_EME_MODULES, which is set to eme_modules in
toolkit/moz.configure where a comment reads:
# Widevine is enabled by default in desktop browser builds.
When running grep in a Librewolf repo [3] for the aformentioned terms,
only the --disable-jxl configure flag is modified in toolkit/
moz.configure, so I don't think the Librewolf developers disable EME. I
am not sure though, I don't want to rebuild librewolf with the
--disable-eme flag to look for the difference.
Cheers,
Herman
