    I found this plugin in Firefox. http://www.widevine.com/

    I found "Wide Vine" as a plugin in Firefox. There is a drop down menu. I chose "never activate"

    I disabled it in Windows. In Android I don´t use Firefox, but I used Focus. Not sure if it´s also in Focus.

    I'm not going to lie, I never paid any attention to it, I figured it was needed to play video. But I have now disabled it, sounds a lot like spyware to me.
