[Firefox V43.03] Doesn't like to play well with SoundCloud and Cmd.to

Long story short, playing content from SoundCloud returns in a problem: "Unable to play this track". I had to download that pesky peasant Chromium to access http://cmd.to/fm to listen some wubs. (RIP RAM)

What have I done to try fix the issue? 

- Regular malware scans with MalwareBytes Pro (also used a AdwCleaner for specific tasks).
- Reboot.
- Refresh Firefox to it's default state.

What happened after refresh? 

- SoundCloud worked! (#Hyped)
- Searched for Trap genre. -- There was a problem playing this (and every other) track.

Firefox 42+ has a Tracking Protection feature that is enabled by default in Private Browsing mode. When you are in private browsing mode then Firefox can show a shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar that some content is affected.

You can disable this feature in "Options/Preferences > Privacy" or via the about:privatebrowsing page that get when you open a New Private Window.

  • Options/Preferences > Privacy: "Use Tracking Protection in Private Windows"

What does this have to do anything I said? I uhm.. Really confused.

But what the heck, removed tracking protection (doesn't make sense since i'm using normal browsing). Refreshed page, didn't work. (Tried in normal and Private Browsing).
