Bug Description
I'm not really sure this problem is with bluez, pulseaudio or firefox. The main symptom is that Firefox refuses to send audio to my AD2P compliant bluetooth speakers. I can select the speakers with the gnome-control-
Note - I installed pavucontrol and was able to switch the audio of a playing youtube to the bluetooth speakers.
now for your recommended info
