The way I remember it, the then Firefox "chairman" (whatever the
position is called) made the decision to support DRM. The decision
was not popular and there are ways of configuring FF to disable that
feature. The whole discussion was a couple of years back so I'm short
on details but the search engine of your choice should throw them up
for anyone who cares.
Part of the argument made at the time in supporting the DRM stuff is
that DRM is here to stay (because Hollywood insists on it) and that its
better to have DRM that's at least somewhat standardized rather than
needing different proprietary crap for every different site or something.
That is close to what the Mozilla chair said, his argument was that
people would move to another browser if FF did not support this stuff.
We use Seamonkey, but we're used to having to use another browser now
and then anyway.
