Did you check in Firefox: menu button - >Options.
General panel - >Digital Rights Management (DRM) Content - > tick Play DRM-controlled content. The plugin will automatically download.

Thanks. That worked (although it is Edit->Preferences->Digital Rights Management Content)

It would probably be good if that were on, not off, on installation, since the error message from Firefox is totally useless.

Thanks requesting this. We do think this is an user choice to activate DRM stuff.
