(Whiteboard: [webcompat-source:web-bugs][webcompat:needs-knowledgebase])

Environment:
Operating system: Windows 11
Firefox version: Firefox 128.0

Steps to reproduce:
When playing a movie on Prime Video, such as the one linked (Batman), it says HD is not available due to the browser not complying with HDCP.

I loaded the same link in Edge and it works fine at HD or above.

This became apparent after the last Firefox update.

Expected Behavior:
HD videos are playing

Actual Behavior:
HD and above quality is not available due to "HDCP" requirements, only started since the 128 update.

Notes:

  • Reproduces regardless of the status of ETP
  • Reproduces in Firefox Release
  • Does not reproduce in Firefox Nightly, and Chrome

Please remove "in Firefox 128" from the title in case it's still broken.

the problem still continues in version 129.0.1:
