Thanks, I’ve made this change, along with a few other fixes I 
found over the last couple weeks.  I’ll send an updated patch 
series, but would like to resolve the issues you raise first, to 
avoid repeatedly sending the patch series.

LibreWolf disables DRM by default[1], so I don’t believe this flag 
is necessary.  I can confirm that it’s disabled in the browser 
built from the package definition without this flag.

What’s the rationale for not using addons.mozilla.org?

gnuzilla.gnu.org appears to be broken, it’s serving an Apache 
default page, as if the vhost isn’t configured.  Does the browser 
request some path within that domain, which does work?  I’m not 
familiar with the mechanism used for this.
