Actual results:

I am watching a video webinar in another Firefox window.
Playback is always interupted. It should not be.

Case 1) always causes video and sound playback to stop.
I have to go to the window and press play on the video player to resume playback.
Obviously this is bad.

Case 2) Always causes the video and sound playback to stop. today it has been continueing after the pickup. 
Obviously this is bad.


Expected results:

Video image and sound playback should continue uninterrupted irrespective of activities of other Firefox windows.

Hi Colin

I'm unable to replicate this. I'm able to execute scenario one and two. 

Is it still happening for you?

So I created a new profile and this interuption does not happen now.

I shall begin re-adding extensions to see if i can determine if any of my plugin may be causing this.

Thanks
