User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

I go to open.spotify.com and logged in to the site. I clicked on any song and clicked play. There appeared a message asking if I would like to install DRM components and I accepted. 



Actual results:

A yellow screen appeared saying "Firefox is installing the necessary components for audio or video playback on this page"


Expected results:

I believe there should be a progress bar for the software install process needed to play music on the site. 
This would improve the user experience on spotify (an important site)

I use Firefox on pt-br language.

Comment 2

I'm not sure if the UI belongs to Core:Video/audio or Firefox:general

Comment 3

[Dan Minor [:dminor]]

It looks like previous GMP downloading bugs have been Firefox:General.

Comment 4

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

The install message in comment 0 appears to be handled within browser/base/content/browser-media.js, which is pointing to Audio/Video: Playback for the component.

I'd like to see this, it's a matter of getting some engineering time towards the issue.
