Does anybody else visiting metservice.com see a message at the top saying >“You must enable DRM to play some audio or video on this page”?
Firefox keeps telling me that, but I can’t see why. I see a video on the >page, I can click and it plays fine.
I have seen this sort of thing on some other sites as well.
Microsoft widget.
Firefox keeps telling me that, but I can’t see why. I see a video on

Maybe it is enabled by default.

I am also seeing it on this page <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/hawkes-bay-rse-workers-pay-complaint-widens-to-include-horticulture-nz-become-major-case-in-employment-court/VEJ5MPZHAJGN5NVFKL3TZHS7GQ/>,
but not for example on their home page <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/>.
Firefox’s ⌜︎ Page Info >> Media ⌝︎ reports 3 videos on this page, two with https: URIs and one with the blob: URI scheme.

Thanks for checking, but I’m not sure that “blob” indicates anything very
significant: I see it regularly on pages with no DRM-locked videos.

If the message is actually saying "*Yo* Must Enable DRM", then it's
probably a fake message ... or a website trying to act "cool" and jjust looking lame. ;-)

Websites cannot fake messages that look like they came from the browser.
A. It was a joke.
B. Websites can and do fake browser messages.

Websites can and do fake browser messages. That's how some scams
can get people to download and install malware.

This message appears as a full-width banner across the top of
the web page ...

It appears above the panel containing the address and search fields and
other buttons. No website can put anything there.

In the Firefox and SeaMonkey browsers. But in the Chrome and MS-Edge browsers, the page *can* intercept shift-right-click.
