1298156 - Slate/Megaphone podcast "download" button doesn't actually trigger a download in Firefox (it triggers an HTML5 audio embed instead)

Status: NEW

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect, P3)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 1. Visit http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/dear_prudence/2016/08/dropping_everything_for_a_relationship_on_the_dear_prudence_podcast.html
 2. Click the "Download" button on the podcast-player widget.
     (It's near the bottom-left, between "SUBSCRIBE" and "MEGAPHONE".)

EXPECTED RESULTS:
File should be downloaded. (e.g. I should get a file-download prompt)

ACTUAL RESULTS:
The podcast player widget (which already let me play the audio) turns into an simpler HTML5 audio control (which still just lets me play the audio). No downloading.

Firefox 48 (tested on Win10) & Nightly (tested on Linux) give me ACTUAL RESULTS.

Edge 14 (tested on Win10) Chrome 54 (tested on Linux) give me EXPECTED RESULTS.

Not sure offhand if this is bug is in Audio code, Networking code, or something else.  Starting it out in Audio.

It seems like web developers can't be relied upon to get the Content-Disposition set correctly.
