1282738 - Page with video/audio opens automatically in the background

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Valentin Gosu [:valentin] {{ PTO 3 July - 3 August }}]

Open a page with an autoplaying video such as:
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/25/politics/military-transgender-ban/index.html

Force close the browser using Android's Recent app's screen.

Wait for a while. Firefox will be restarted in the background, maybe because an Android service is running, or a service worker, etc.

What you get is the audio from that page, even though you didn't open Firefox yourself.

We expect Firefox to play audio/video while in the background. In Firefox 50 we introduced media controls in the Android notification area like a media player. You can stop playback easily with that feature.
