[Bug 1638719] Re: Widevine crashes on Firefox 49.0.2 and Ubuntu 16.10

[Lars Bischoff]

Got Netflix working again with Firefox 50.
I had to adjust the User Agent (using "User-Agent Switcher" plug-in) to:
Linux / Chrome 53: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.34 Safari/537.36

And I do not need the "export MOZ_DISABLE_GMP_SANDBOX=1" workaround
anymore, which helped to avoid a crash with 49.0.2. when widevine was
started (after Ubuntu 16.10 upgrade). I guess this issue was related to
problem described here.
