Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Stephan Bruijnis]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170628075643

Steps to reproduce:

I can reproduce by following these steps: 	 
1. Start Firefox by clicking on the desktop icon
2. Press Ctrl+N  to open a new browser window
3. Paste http://pinguinplayer.com/#PinguinRadio in the address bar and press Enter
4. Press play
5. Assert music is playing
6. Press CTRL+SHIFT+P to open private browsing tab
7. Click close icon to close the private browsing tab
8. The private browsing tab is closed
9. Assert the music stopped playing

I'm running firefox 54.0.1 (64-bits) on a Windows 10 64-bits 


Actual results:

The script (or something) running in the regular tab with PinguinRadio playing is affected by closing the private browsing tab, because the music stopped playing.


Expected results:

Private browsing tab should be closed (works) but music running in the regular tab opened at step 2 should not be stopped.

I believe this is the long running issue with MediaCache. The cache gets cleared when users exit private browsing mode. We need to move private browsing into its own MediaCache so we don't have to clear it.

Blake - can you add this to your backlog for prioritisation in Q4?

We have a similar issue in bug 1194891. Can you try Nightly to see if it works for you?

It has got JW's attention. I believe it will be handled very well. :-)

I was unable to reproduce it in Nightly 57.0a1

Did the music stop permanently or it was just some hiccups?

On that basic, I'll close the bug as fixed, most likely by bug 1194891.
