web player crash firefox linux

[gentunian]

Note: this is not a question, just a helpful post to help users like me that had this issue.

For linux distros with SELinux enabled:

When loading the web player on firefox, a crash report submition appears. You may have a selinux issue.

In order to remove the issue, you need to invoke this command in your preferred terminal:

 /sbin/restorecon -v HOME/.mozilla/firefox/YOUR_FIREFOX_PROFILE/gmp-widevinecdm/1.4.8.1008/libwidevinecdm.so

Where:

HOME: is your user home directory

YOUR_FIREFOX_PROFILE: is your firefox profile directory

the full path may be different because differents version of the plugin, so you may find the file libwidevinecdm.so in your .mozilla directory.

Cheers,
