HTML 5 sound not playing for html page run on localhost with Firefox 12.0 on 12.04

[Adrien Lamothe]

Sound is not playing for HTML 5 pages loaded from localhost (local Apache2) on Firefox 12.0 running on 12.04 Pangolin. The same pages work correctly when loaded from a remote server. Also, the pages work correctly when loaded from localhost using Opera 11.64.

Need to amend the first statement. The pages also don't play sound when loaded locally with Opera 11.64.

Adrien,

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.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can this bug report now be closed?

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
