Firefox Quantum on Linux don't play html5 audio .ogg and .mp3
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 you for your very quickly answer !
I tried but not working: don'play !!
I have also tried to set it to 1 but .. nothing: not working (obviously I have restarted FF after the modifications)
Maybe is a bug ?

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.
