You keep going on about this, yet you're targeting the wrong people.

I want to watch BBC iPlayer. I want to watch 4od. I want to watch some 
other TV catch-up services. I may even want to use some online movie 
services too.

All these services will eventually use DRM - some already are.

So when I want to watch these services I will simply not use Firefox.

And when I get used to not using Firefox, but using something else - e.g. 
Chrome then I'll never go back to Firefox.

And neither will millions of others.

So you lose, Firefox will lose and cease to be.

We are the converted. You're bleating at the wrong people. Go publish this 
online, not to the 200 members of the Devon and Cornwall GNU/Linux users 
group.
