Audio starts automatically on getfirebug.com

[Jakub G]

Hi,

I've noticed a weird thing today.

Whenever I navigate to https://www.getfirebug.com/ (or non-https), I can hear that screencast starts playing automatically (I hear the audio). 

Happens

- in Firefox only (not in Chrome/Opera/IE), 21 stable and nightly,

- in a clean profile,

- also with Flash, Java, JavaScript disabled,

- after fresh reboot.

I'm using Windows 7.

The only way to stop it is to add https://www.getfirebug.com/video/Intro2FB.mp4 to a blacklist in AdBlock Plus.

Is someone able to reproduce it?

[Jan Honza Odvarko]

I don't see the problem on my machine.

Can anybody reproduce it?

Yes, at work I have that problem, too. Even on a fresh Firefox profile.
Didn't care about it that much yet, though. I just turned off the sound for Firefox.

We should definitely fix this.

Sebastian, can you please file a new issue for this.

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem.

FF22.0
Windows 7 32bit

If I click play and pause on the simucast it starts to play the video and audio without affecting the automatic audio that's still running.

Hah, yeah. I ran into that a week or 2 back. Was too lazy to report it and have it be an "annoying feature" :p

[Constrained Serenity]

Still happens. On 24 Aurora.

Should be fixed now. Please let me know if it works for you.
