Revision Content
If you are on a Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) on Windows, audio playback will be disabled due to increased security restrictions. This is a known issue in Firefox version 56 that we are working hard to fix.
In the meantime, you can reduce the sandbox security level by following these steps:
- Type about:config in the address bar and press EnterReturn.
A warning page may appear. Click to go to the about:config page. - Search for security.sandbox.content.level, double-click on the preference and set its value to 1.
- Restart Firefox on the remote device.
