Get rid of "you must enable DRM" in Firefox

If you disable DRM in Firefox (Preferences → General → Digital Rights Management (DRM) Content), every page that tries to play some DRM-protected video (e.g. the aliexpress-login-page, no idea why) will have an ugly yellow banner above it telling you about how your life will much better if you re-enable DRM.
Long time ago, there was some "never bother me again" button, but that was removed.
Luckily, some good soul gave a hint in bug 1451762 comment 9:

[...] disable the following in about:config :

media.gmp-widevinecdm.enabled
media.gmp-widevinecdm.visible
