Steps to reproduce:

My add-on Enhancer for YouTube™ (https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/) permits users to boost the volume of YouTube videos, but when this feature is used, controlling the playback rate becomes impossible. I use the exact same code for Chrome and everything works as expected, but with Firefox the playback rate is reset to 1 when the Web Audio API is used, and when we try to change the playback rate I can see that it is changed when I inspect the <video> element, but the video continues to play at normal speed. Turning off the audio booster does nothing, we have to reload the page to be able to control the playback rate.

It's not clear where this belongs. Moving to Audio/Video: Playback for investigation because that's where the issue is observable.

Don't we need to update the other bug, that is a dup-bug, to have the same parity and priority tags.
