This allows users to view DRM content right away.
This to change from Firefox 52 onwards, the browser maker has decided to disable Primetime CDM plugin, so that it won’t be downloaded and installed until and unless user visits a site with DRM content that needs plugin to be enabled, then Firefox prompts to user to turn on DRM, when user clicks on ‘Enable DRM’, browser will download and install Primetime CDM plugin components in the background.
