Thanks for the report, unfortunately I can't access the site from my location and VPN is not allowed.

@miketaylr or @wisniewskit can you check it on your side?

I can't personally verify this myself, as I'm not in the US and I don't have a HBO NOW account. However, I asked a friend to verify that it works now, and it is. This, in addition to the fact that Widevine playback wasn't available before Firefox Reality 10, which is a fairly new release from the end of May, leads me to the conclusion that this is actually fixed now.

Because of this, I'll closed this as fixed by MozillaReality/FirefoxReality#3082, and I'm sure if I happen to be wrong (which I'm 99% confident I'm not), then we'll see another report soon.
