Firefox doesn't work with AT&T Natural Voices® Text-to-Speech Demo

[Ma Hsiao-chun]

Steps to reproduce:
1. http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
2. Click "SPEAK"
3. Then it goes to window like the attachment firefox.png but the play controls stuck.

If I download the wav file manually, if plays in Totem.
The same website also works well in Epiphany and Google Chrome.

That is the totem plugin in your screenshot

[Ma Hsiao-chun (mahsiaochun)]

What about Epiphany, is it using same/similar plugin?
See epiphany.png

[Ma Hsiao-chun (mahsiaochun)]

As I said, offline playback in Totem works fine.
See totem.png

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Working in Chrome / Chromium / Epiphany is irrelevant as those don't use the Totem plugin to handle this.

Looking in xsession-errors shows that the separate totem-plugin-viewer process receives the correct URL from the part of totem which runs inside the browser. This isn't a Firefox bug...

fixed in totem 3.6.3-0ubuntu2

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Raring Ringtail.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
