DRM Plugin crashes after openSUSE Tumbleweed update

A few days ago openSUSE users started complaining about DRM Plugin crashes in Firefox after running a Tumbleweed update.

Netflix requires the DRM plugin in Firefox to be able to play encrypted videos. The plugin would crash due to a bug in Firefox 73. While this bug affected not just openSUSE users, but everyone using Firefox 73, it became apparent to TW users as v73 landed in the Tumbleweed repo.

Mozilla fixed the bug in the 73.0.1 release. I tweeted about that a little more than a week ago.

Yo Mozillians! #Firefox 73.0.1 has been released. Fixes crashes on Windows & Linux.https://t.co/UZsfGf2MgT

Firefox 73.0.01 is now available in the Tumbleweed repo. So, a quick update should fix your Netflix. 😉
