It is without 'Widevine Content Decryption Module' and might be other stuff required to offer DRM protected playback.

 

Since EME stands Encrypted Media Extensions.

Did I say it was for any other OS? Read the link

[Boo Berry]

Actually, there are 49.0.1 builds for Mac and Linux, it's just a version bump.

yeah there is but since there's no real issues with 49.0 in linux builds i dont think a lot of Distro's will use or go with 49.0.1 since the only issue is in the Windowz build

What is going on with Firefox? Fx 50 was supposed to be a final release 9 days ago. It is still Fx 50 Beta 8 and yet today they release Fx 49.0.2.  They also have a scheduled 50.0.2 due sometime in the future. do they have a clue as to what they are doing anymore??

[Circaflex]

Still the same old slow firefox. Used to be my go to browser.

[Boo Berry]

They're going beyond the 6 week releases now it seems. It's out when it's out, I guess.

Why such a long delay?

more likely to get more Servo related stuff into the browser = more testing

[Boo Berry]

They abandoned the Chrome-esk 6 week release cycle, so releases will take longer. As I said, they'll likely be ready when they're ready.
