Unlike Xubuntu, Linux Mint, Zorin OS Core and other distros, Ubuntu-Mate 15.10 Beta 2 fails the basic Firefox HTML5 audio test for MP3 and M4A audio files. This means that it will not play MP3 files directly in the browser without the assistance of security-vulnerable Adobe Flash players.

A fix is simple: just add the 350KB gstreamer1.

All major Windows and Android browser except Opera pass the HTML5 audio MP3 test. All Linux distros using Chrome or Chromium also passed this test.
