Does anyone use Firefox to watch DRM protected Video content?

Is it normal for DRM to display lots of ads whenever Firefox is
loaded? 



I did enable DRM once, a long time ago, and I started getting annoying
ads whenever Firefox was loaded. It took a while for me to determine
it was because of the DRM add-on. The DRM add-on was loaded into the
user's file space. I do not know if displaying the ads was normal DRM
add-on behavour or whether a malisious web page had replaced the
originally downloaded DRM file with a hacked version. My solution at
the time was to delete any Firefox folders in my /home/username area
(e.g. ~/.mozilla/firefox). DRM was not too important to me, so I now
just do not enable DRM.

Firefox for desktop supports the Google Widevine CDM for playing
DRM-controlled content. 

Disabling Google Widevine from the Add-ons Manager prevents it from
running on your computer and prevents future updates from downloading.


Please reply if you have had any such experiences.
