I installed Firefox from ppa:mozillateam/ppa but Netflix is not working and gives the error: "The WidevineCdm plugin has crashed".


I tried to use another user (a new user), I tried to disable and enable again drm, I tried it with no extensions, I tried to reinstall Firefox and install libavcodec-extra as suggested in other threads but nothing, always the same error.


I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 and Firefox version is 102.0.1 (64-bit).


Using the Snap version is not an option for me, I would rather change OS than using Firefox as a Snap, so I'm looking for a way to have a working Firefox installed with a .deb.


Edit:


Apparently the problem is related only to this version of Firefox. Firefox-ESR version 91.11.0 installed from the same ppa works perfectly, I think I will use this until the other is fixed.

Download it from the official site here
and after that extract the tar and to run go into the Firefox directory and run the Firefox executable to make sure to works



  • then move the Firefox folder to ~/.local/lib (note if it does not exist, make it)

  • make a symlink with this mkdir -p ~/.local/bin/ ; ln -s ~/.local/lib/firefox/firefox ~/.local/bin/firefox

  • after that run this sudo sed -i 's/Exec=firefox/Exec=~/.local/bin/firefox/g' /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
