Cannot stream DRM videos on 64bit nightly right now. I'd say it's pretty important if we're pushing more 64bit builds onto users.

STR:

- Install 64bit Nightly 52
- Try to watch a movie on Amazon.
- See the little bar on the top pop up about installing stuff.
- Go to about:addons > Plugins
- See that Wildvine says "will be installed soon" but never does
cpeterson has confirmed he gets the bug too over IRC.
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:

64-bit Nightly is unable to play Netflix.

I can reproduce this problem in Nightly 52, but not Release 49.

Dale: Is this a regression from your recent work? In the browser console I see

1475703702499	Toolkit.GMP	ERROR	GMPWrapper(gmp-widevinecdm) findUpdates() - updateTask for gmp-widevinecdm threw: TypeError: gmpAddons.find is not a function (resource://gre/modules/addons/GMPProvider.jsm:295:22) JS Stack trace: GMPWrapper.prototype.findUpdates/this._updateTask<@GMPProvider.jsm:295:22

I ran a mozregression, and found that Bug 1267495 caused this regression. The "gmpAddons.find is not a function" error always co-occured with the failure during the regression run, so I expect that's related.

Dale, can you take this bug?
