Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[spunit262]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140212131424

Steps to reproduce:

Have audio file named a.ogg and a html file containing '<audio src="a.ogg">' in the same folder on your hard drive.
Open the html file in Firefox then close that tap (with other tap still open so Firefox is still running).
Try to move a.ogg some where else using Windows Explorer.


Actual results:

Windows reports that Firefox still has a.ogg open, even though the document that loaded it is closed.


Expected results:

Firefox should close the file after loading it like it does with all other resources.

WFM on Firefox 28/Win8.1.
It is indeed locked when opening, but unlock after few seconds of page closed, non-never.

Firefox just updated to 28 for me and the problem seams to be fixed. 
The audio file is now only open as long as it's the src for an audio element, which falls in acceptable behavior (especial since audio/video files tend to be large).
