Hi,

CDM support is essential for some video streaming web services as far as I remember correctly.
So some services require clearkey CDM module.
Widevine support will not work with NetBSD binary because widevine .so file is Linux ELF binary. And foreigncdm may not support Firefox.

I have no opinion for the branding.
However please keep package path, www/firefox, like before.
If trademark policy refuses the path, we should consider complying with the policy and keeping the path for visibility for users.

Thank you.
