User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20160407164938

Steps to reproduce:

install FF 52. go to BBC radio schedule, like http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/programmes/schedules/2017/03/14. click on Play button (pink with icon for each program) Note the URL ends with '#play'. OR enter URL like 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/b08hcg9k'


Actual results:

URL opens to full program page OR pop-out player. DOES NOT autoplay. page or pop-out will play when click play buttons (icon labels, not text)


Expected results:

When either page or pop-out are opened as specified, radio player should start playing at once (autoplay). It still works in IE or FF51
WFM in Fx52 and Fx53b4 on Win10.

Andreas, would you mind testing to see if this reproduces for you? I wonder if this is geo-sensitive.

Maybe OSX related. Works on Win10 did not work for me on Mac.
Works like a charm (even when spoofing location). I'm on Windows, using Firefox/55.0 (Nightly)

Thanks!
