Same goes for EME. The Firefox implementation is Open Source.
Well. The "sandbox" in which closed-source EME malware runs is Open Source, the EME malware itself is not; if it were, it wouldn't achieve its intended goals of preventing the user from accessing media without interference.
I guess you are talking about the CDM module. Yes, that's not Open Source, but that doesn't ship along with Firefox. It's pretty much the same as with NPAPI plugins. Implementation is Open Source, but (for instance) Flash plugin is not. Thus it's not shipped with Firefox.
