Spotify web player - doesnt work

Hello all. I am new to K-Meleon and need some help.

I have K-Meleon 76.2 Goanna running on XP, and I am trying to get the Spotify player to work.
I have added a useragent ( http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?9,143209 ) and set it to Firefox 72.0 and can log into Spotify.

But when I click on "Launch Web Player" I get the message "Enable secure playback in your browser".

I assume this has something to do with DRM. I have tried adding the extension Native HLS (using Extensions Manager 8), but when I test it using the link http://bitmovin.com/mpeg-dash-hls-drm-test-player/, the webpage says "No DRM" and spotify gives me the same message as before.

Can someone please help me.

I am now editing this as I have installed Spotify 1.0.24.104 (from FileHorse) and it works well on my old XP setup, but I'd still like the option of using the Web Player.

But unfortunately I found this link: https://msfn.org/board/topic/177125-my-build-of-new-moon-temp-name-aka-pale-moon-fork-targetting-xp/page/54/?tab=comments#comment-1153963 where VistaLover states "if you're asking specifically for the Windows XP SP3 OS and the Spotify web player on a Mozilla type browser, there exist several serious reasons this isn't possible! " and continues to list the reasons.

But then there are posts here about logging in to Spotify so maybe someone here knows of a solution.... ???
