Not sure if I follow. Doesn't 'restart' imply you have to 'close' the browser first?

Crashing the browser closes it and a Bug Report window appears. There you have the option to close Firefox or restart it. 

If you choose to restart it, you can still hear the song playing in the background. Only if you choose to close the browser, the song stops playing. 

I hope this clarifies things a little bit.

It looks like 'restart' doesn't kill the content process correctly so audio keeps playing in the content process. Not sure if this is an XPCOM issue or browser chrome issue.

This seems to be a dupe of Bug 1363378.
