I've updated to the latest version of Firefox, and other forums say Firefox has addressed the WidevineCdm issue. But I still get an error message when I try to watch shows on Starz. The message is: Unfortunately, STARZ can't play on this device without a current version of the WidevineCdm component. Please verify that you're running Firefox version 47 or greater and the WidevineCdm component is enabled. I am just a mom with no computer knowledge, but surely this shouldn't require tech support.  ??
