The WidevineCDM plugin crashes on all streaming services that use it.

I've tried disabling/enabling the plugin, uninstalling my extensions, clearing my cache, refreshing and reinstalling firefox as suggested by other threads I've seen. So far nothing has worked.

Most probably, latest version of Firefox would have stopped support for this plugin. You can try by reinstalling the plugin and starting again.

How would I reinstall just the plugin? I've deactivated and reactivated the plugin which didn't work, and when I reinstalled firefox it showed the plugin getting reinstalled as well, but it still doesn't work
