Comment:

 We don't need to do the refactoring for ESR 38. GMPs are disabled and not
 downlaoded (they can't even be donwloaded in the EME case at all as there
 are no such plugins for OS X and Linux and the original download URL is
 not working as we are using mingw-w64). Given that these plugins' scope is
 not system-wide one must try quite hard to get them loaded into the
 process space at all. We can ignore this case for now. We should try to
 get Mozilla's requested changes merged upstream in the window for Firefox
 45 although Mozilla's different treatment of GMPs does not make the patch
 unnecessary for us...
