Details

The following page works fine in Chrome, but fails to works in FF (both desktop and mobile). https://briancort.com/chordviz/ The page waits for 25 .mp3 files to load and then plays them and renders. In FF one of the 'canplaythrough' events is never fired. Interestingly, this page does work if loaded from a local web server. The relevant code is in the player.init() function in player.js.
The 'preload' is not set which defaults to 'metadata' on Desktop FF. The audio elements download just enough data to decode metadata and then stop. Therefore 'canplaythrough' is not fired. FF is spec conformant and this is an issue of the site script. I would suggest to listen to 'canplay' to start the player.
