Details

This is a followup to bug 838331 and bug 841239, which fixed this issue for Firefox OS and Windows, respectively. :cpearce has said we'll need to fix it separately on each affected platform, so I'm filing bugs for each. I don't know if we support MP3 on Linux yet, but presumably we're working on it if not. At any rate, the issue is that (new Audio()).canPlayType('audio/mpeg; codecs="mp3"') should return "probably", whereas it currently returns "". See bug 838331 for more info.
Seems to work on Ubuntu 14.04 with Firefox nightly. Evaluating the above code snippet returns "probably".
Great! Shall we mark this as resolved then? I'm a bit rusty on the process here...
