I know the plugins aren't free (patent issues and stuff), but are they open source and were checked by the mozilla team?

Thanks

Widevine is closed-source, but I'm not sure, why mozilla should check it?

Because Firefox is supposed to be open-source, but apparently it contains closed-source plugins by default.

It was discussed 10 years ago. You can still download a non-DRM version, if you prefer it.
