Firefox auto-updated to 53.0.3, and I changed the format of the 'audio' tag, and
it still disappears with no sound.
The tag does work in Chrome, IE, Edge, and Opera.

Those examples don't make sense with a file path. Try src="http://..."

Can you provide a link that reproduces the issue?

The following link is valid until my isp changes my ip address:
 
   http://100.1.68.96:2468/kliksy/audiotest.html

Load the page, and then click the line with "test..." to place the element in the right column (the active queue).
The mp3 should play. If not, click the Play/Pause button as required.

Thanks.

It plays for me on Firefox but it looks like something is stuck in a loop making the audio element wider.

Jet - is a difference in layout behaviour beteen us and other browsers causing this effect?

Please file a separate bug if you want us to debug this test app's layout. A comment like this in the HTML seems to indicate that the layout is not our bug:

<!-- &fix don't understand this: without = big left margin -->


The CSS Layout would not cause audio to not play back.

I'm closing this 'bug' -
I discovered that my CSS attempted to reduce the height of the <audio> player to 36px. This previously worked. Now, however, it causes the tag to disappear.
Thanks to all for any attention paid to the problem.
