Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
Mozilla unfortunately chose to support external DRM plugins by an opensource
sandbox for EME/CDM plugins[1][2].
Please keep this open source sandbox code out of Iceweasel builds once it
becomes available. As for reasons to do so please see [2][3].
Feel free to close the bug report with a statement of your intent to do so.
If its not possible to remove the code easily, please at least disable it.
Thank you very much,
Martin
