### Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request * **User impact if declined**: On macOS Catalina (and the Catalina Beta builds), Widevine playback (used for Netflix and Amazon Prime streaming) will cause plugin process crashes and will not be functional. macOS Catalina will probably not release before build 69 ships, so this may not be worth uplifting to the 68 release. * **Is this code covered by automated tests?**: No * **Has the fix been verified in Nightly?**: Yes * **Needs manual test from QE?**: Yes * **If yes, steps to reproduce**: Verify Widevine playback works as expected on the latest Catalina Beta release. * **List of other uplifts needed**: Bug 1566523, Bug 1566127 * **Risk to taking this patch**: Low * **Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky)**: The change is a low risk Mac sandboxing change to make the gecko media plugin (GMP) sandbox slightly more permissive to allow an additional system call. * **String changes made/needed**: ### ESR Uplift Approval Request * **If this is not a sec:{high,crit} bug, please state case for ESR consideration**: Widevine playback is a very important feature and it will not be functional on macOS Catalina with 60esr or 68esr without this fix. * **User impact if declined**: On macOS Catalina (and the Catalina Beta builds), Widevine playback (used for Netflix and Amazon Prime streaming) will cause plugin process crashes and will not be functional. This fix is also dependent on bugs 1566523 and 1566127. * **Fix Landed on Version**: 69 * **Risk to taking this patch**: Low * **Why is the change risky/not risky?
