Package: firefox
Version: 49.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

firefox 49.0 upstream has DRM support for non-free video platforms. I
guess the debian free software rules forbid these modules in the
stock distribution. But are there mechanisms planned to install it
nevertheless?

 * Try to start a video of your favorite non-free video service

Expected:

 * Video is played

Actual behavior:

 * Web page is shown with the instructions to install silverlight
