Component: Untriaged → Enterprise Policies
Summary: widevine path library → widevine library CUSTOM path

I have several hungreds Firefox profiles already configured by my custom prefs and I cant configure them all for use 1 Widevine dll file.
Each new profile request to download EVERY time new copy of this dll ( which today version 4.10.2830.0 cost around 20MB for each profile!)

It looks like you can set MOZ_GMP_PATH to point to the DLL.

You would then have to set the preferences/policies to turn off downloading the files:

I have not confirmed this works, but it should.
