Widevine will not install on FireFox

I have an issue where I can not listen to Spotify because Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. will not install in Firefox. I visited other threads in this form hoping to find a fix for this issue to no avail. I even Googled it and tried the info from the results still nothing. I have not able to use Spotify for 2 months. Either Mozilla gets on the band wagon and fix this issue with Widevine or dump Widevine and use a different plugin for DRM content. This is very ridiculous.

Try to toggle DRM off/on to see if that makes Firefox (re)load DRM components.

You can check the Browser Console for possible messages about 'gmp'. Enable only XHR to make it easier to spot the request to download the Widevine plugin.

Make sure you do not block access to redirector.gvt1.com via the Windows hosts file or otherwise.

None of that worked. and I can't get to that website. I don't any blocking software on the pc. I can't edit the hosts file on this pc because Windows 10 says I need permission to do so. So it is only the sample unaltered hosts file that came with the pc. IMO, they need to find an alternative plugin other than Googles piece of crap.

You should see a XHR request for the Widevine plugin in the Browser Console shortly after you toggle DRM OFF and then ON again. Don't you see this request in the Browser Console ?

This is what I see.
