Bug Description

When playing a video/music off of a website in firefox and I go to a different tab and try and use firefox's reader mode, it causes static to appear in the audio for about 10 seconds, after which the problem corrects itself and further uses of reader mode do not cause more static.

Jacob,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported? Please let us know if you do as I cannot reproduce the issue using Ubuntu 18.04 and Firefox 61.

If we do not hear from you this bug report will expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
