Ran many steps to find more info about current issue on Firefox Since new Parrot Updates installed from current Stable Pen Distro from here and the correct repos on Beta ver! No issue with Widevine until running new Beta Kernals! Tried many suggestions from various Linux sources and Community with no resolve!

I ran new versions of Parrot along with latest official Parrot Firefox on Beta with new Kernal! That is where I had issue with Widevine Plugin!
It shows me this…
The Widevine Cdm has crashed submit a Crash report!
After checking and re-installing the plugin etc and various type suggestions no dice?


Looking for some help please I’m at a total loss for a Fix? Various updates of Firefox since the issue started with none stable Deb/Parrot Kernal Distros only!

I have no other Ideas apart from it being perhaps a Firejail issue? Any help much greatly apreciated thank you, the support here is much apreciated and terrific Community Spirit. Linux NOOB

Does it crash when you play the video at https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm

Hi Masmer.
Indeed it does.

This problem is now resolved thanks.
Uninstalled the Firefox V84 Browser and re-installed it! Was that simple something corrupted in addons.
