Kind of both: 1) Firefox won't play DRM'ed content by default 2) Firefox could be the browser that allows you to go around all DRM'ed content through 3rd part

Kind of both:
1) Firefox won't play DRM'ed content by default
2) Firefox could be the browser that allows you to go around all DRM'ed content through 3rd party plugins (they probably won't be able to condone the activity themselves).
The sad thing is the content guys will start yelling from the rooftops afterwards that "Mozilla is facilitating piracy and content theft" or something like that, even though they would keep the browser just like before - the "open web" we all wanted.
But because everyone else will have sold their soul to the content corporations, that sort of censorship will become the status quo, and now Mozilla will be the enemy.
Instead of "open web" being the status quo, I fear that "DRM'ed web" will become the status quo.
