I think the Adobe DRM only runs in the original Firefox, so if you
install an alternative version, you won't be able to get access to
some online content.
I don't know to what extent add-ons an circumvent DRM. Perhaps
Mozilla is worried that without mandatory add-on signing, Firefox will
lose users because users can't access restricted online content
anymore?
