I have installed today new Firefox Quantum on xubuntu 12.04 64bit and I seen that it cannot play html5 audio as: <audio id="audio1" src="audio/test/audio1.ogg" preload="auto" loop autoplay="autoplay"></audio> Pevious version FF 48 and FF 52 play it whitout problem.

I tested with test_audio.canPlayType('audio/mpeg;') and it return an empty string, but test_audio.canPlayType('audio/ogg; codecs="vorbis"') give me "probably".

Is a bug ?

Thank in advance,

Emilio

In the address bar, type about:config and press Enter.

The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I accept the risk! to continue to the about:config page.

Search for security.sandbox.content.level and set it to 2.

Restart Firefox.

Thank, I just done.

I have also prepared a test page (you can see at www.etelindustriale.net/test_audio.htm

The page have many java script ... maybe the problem is an "interference" between one script and another ...

I have not tested on mobile version, but I will be in the next days.
