This is a page using QuickTime that you see, not Firefox <audio> or <video>.

Please attach an .mp3 file with which you can reproduce this problem.
> 1. Same issue with a H.264 encoded video.
Please attach another example for this testcase.
And what does this mean? Does this testcase load a plugin (QuickTime or some other plugin)?
Finally, do these problems happen on all platforms (including Windows and Linux), or only on the Mac?

(In reply to Steven Michaud from comment #2) > Please attach an .mp3 file with which you can reproduce this problem. .mp3 file attached, though it`s reproducible with any .mp3 file. > > 1. Same issue with a H.264 encoded video. > > Please attach another example for this testcase. I had a large file on my PC (+200MB) but I found one on the web: http://www.808.dk/pics/video/gizmo.mp4 > And what does this mean? Does this testcase load a plugin (QuickTime or > some other plugin)? Yes it loads a QuickTime plugin. > Finally, do these problems happen on all platforms (including Windows and > Linux), or only on the Mac? This happens only on Mac (10.7.3 and 10.8).

Thanks for the details. I can't be sure, but this really looks like an issue with how the Quicktime plugin does the volume popup.

I can reproduce this (in FF 23.0.1 on OS X 10.8.4). You don't need to drag a file into a tab -- just visiting a URL like http://www.808.dk/pics/video/gizmo.mp4 will also allow you to reproduce the problem. I see the same problem in Opera 16, but not in Safari. So yes, this looks very much like a QuickTime bug. I assume that Safari contains some kind of workaround (or that QuickTime behaves differently in Safari). For some reason, QuickTime in Chrome uses a different UI for the volume button, so the problem can't happen there.

Another couple of things: It's not the app (Firefox or Opera) that loses focus -- it's the current window (the one in which the plugin is displayed). And even that window only loses focus temporarily (only as long as the mouse hovers over the volume button).
