[heraldo]

Media playback of another app not paused by Firefox when Firefox starts media playback, Firefox does also not pause playback when starting playback in another media player.

1. Start playback in Google's Play Music (or other media apps)
2. Open Firefox > load eg. youtube and start playback

Expected result: Play music playback paused
Actual result: both audio streams played back simultaneously

3. Stop playback in Google's Play Music
4. In Firefox: load eg. youtube and start playback
5. Go to Play Music and start playback

Expected result: Firefox playback paused
Actual result: both audio streams played back simultaneously

Chrome browser and Samsung browser produces the expected result.

This should be fixed in our Nightl builds:

Thanks Sebastian, checked with today's Nightly and indeed it looks like it is about to get fixed. 

There is still an issue with the switching, it works the first time when playback is in another app, then Nightly, then in another app. Switching back to Nightly after this step often leads to double audio stream.

Closing as works for me. A separate bug should be opened for comment 3.
