The next Nightly on Windows will be using the parent binary for GMP processes

[Bob Owen]

Hi all,

In Bug 2014735 I've landed a change to always use the parent binary (i.e. firefox.exe for Firefox) for all child processes on Windows Nightly.

This only affects GMP as it is the only remaining user of plugin-container.exe.

This is controlled by the pref: dom.ipc.alwaysUseParentBinary

If you see any issues with Widevine or Openh264 that are caused by this, please file them as regressions to Bug 2014735 and blocking Bug 2014698.

Thanks,

Bob
