Comment:

 Replying to [comment:6 gk]:

 The bottom line is there is only EME on Windows Vista+ and as we don't
 build any sandbox on Windows and the sandbox is needed for EME we won't
 get it to run on Vista+ either. Thus, I'll go with the idea in comment:4
 and audit the result. As mentioned in the description we want to revisit
 this during the preparation for ESR 45 when we have fixed #16010 and
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1136707 got solved by
 Mozilla.

 Neither #16010 nor the Mozilla bug are fixed yet. Thus, I postpone
 revisiting our current decision. So far, for ESR45, we are still good with
 the things we currently have in place.
