We have a bug about this. This is due to the media cache being cleared when a private window is closed.

This should be fixed in 44. 

Flash shouldn't be used in 43 however unless you played with settings

I tested in the latest Beta and it's still reproducible. Not Nightly.

Well, I tested Nightly again and it's reproducible too, maybe less.

sorry, my bad, I was thinking about gstreamer.

YouTube doesn't use flash anymore, so I don't understand how the steps described in the first message could help.

In 44 and later, when playing mp3 I can't reproduce the audio being interrupted anymore.

What packages have you installed?
do you have gstreamer installed
do you have ffmpeg installed? if so which version?
