SUMMARY
widevineCDM Plugin in Firefox (preinstalled) keeps crashing.
(seems to be mainly KDE Neon going by quick Reddit search:
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/zogp86/widevinecdm_crashing_constantly_on_linux/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/zogq19/firefox_widevinecdm_crashing_constantly/

)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Install KDE Neon user edition and open Netflix, Amazon Prime, TIDAL or almost
any other paid media streaming service. Try to play Media.
OBSERVED RESULT
It will crash. (where do I get the crash info? on Redit someone said it was
empty.)
EXPECTED RESULT
Media is played

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I also saw that Hardware decoding was disabled. This makes my fans spin up to
max while only watching youtube. The snap package manages everything well. I
think Hardware rendering is why some people on Reddit say flatpak is much
faster. In my case Flatpak hat some Tearing-Issues.
(Sorry if this is the wrong place for the report. But it seems like the issue
is some configuration problem in this package and mainly in KDE Neon)
