Does anyone use Firefox to watch DRM protected Video content?
Is it normal for DRM to display lots of ads whenever Firefox is loaded?
I did enable DRM once, a long time ago, and I started getting annoying
ads whenever Firefox was loaded. It took a while for me to determine it
was because of the DRM add-on. The DRM add-on was loaded into the user's
file space. I do not know if displaying the ads was normal DRM add-on
behavour or whether a malisious web page had replaced the originally
downloaded DRM file with a hacked version. My solution at the time was
to delete any Firefox folders in my /home/username area (e.g.
~/.mozilla/firefox). DRM was not too important to me, so I now just do
not enable DRM.

Firefox for desktop supports the Google Widevine CDM for playing
DRM-controlled content.
Disabling Google Widevine from the Add-ons Manager prevents it from
running on your computer and prevents future updates from downloading.
Please reply if you have had any such experiences.
