Soundcloud plays, but can't search/skip through track

When using Soundcloud with the latest Firefox (32.0.2) on Windows (7, 64-bit) I can play tracks, but I can't search in them/skip to where I click on the waveform. The waveform does indicate what part of the track it is playing without problems.

- I'm blocking Flash on Soundcloud, but I don't see how that's a problem since it can play tracks. - I've tried this with and without the "HTML5 audio" option in Soundcloud (under Experimental options) but I notice no difference at all. - media.windows-media-foundation.enabled, play-stand-alone and use-dxva are all set to true.

Anyone has any idea what might be causing this pretty specific problem?

All my extensions are the latest version, and I've disabled those who I suspected of trouble before testing.

HI boostly, You can click on the plugin icon in the url bar to see if its being blocked and enable it to skip tracks and search. After I blocked flash, however I had to reload the page to play the next track.

Also right click on the page and click on Page Info. Is Flash player blocked in this menu as well? If not, block it and refresh the page.
