Muting certain tabs causes suppression of system sounds
Note: the following is an editted version. 20250706 13:02
when i MUTE some tabs (using the native FF tab mute icon on the tab) sound is muted for just that tab. HOWEVER, it also mutes ALL SYSTEM sounds.
This occurs both with my regular profile and using a default profile for my version (which has NO ADDONS).
It seems to depend on the type of delivery of the music. (Or something!)
This occurs for the following URLs:
https://14223.live.streamtheworld.com/WRTI_CLASSICAL.mp3 https://areena.yle.fi/podcastit/ohjelmat/57-llL6Y4blL
However, rather interestinly, it DOES NOT OCCUR for the "standard" WRTI radio station:
https://www.wrti.org/classical-playlist-search
it seems UNREASONABLE THAT A WEB SITE SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXERT ANY CONTROL upon system sounds. So, I must presume this is a FF bug; however, I have not posted it as such (having no confirmation from others).
