[solved] Firefox 43 doesn't support html5 mp3

After I upgraded to 43 I can't play music on some resources. Youtube works fine.
http://html5test.com/ shows that mp3 is not supported.

This will be fixed in a new build soon.

This will be fixed in a new build soon.

So it's an Arch-specific problem, not an upstream one? Any ideas when we can expect this new build?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

In Firefox 43.0.4, I don't have MP3 support neither.

Tested here: http://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/

Other people have this problem?
Apparently 43.0.2 was still working... : https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … 3_content/

EDIT: Okay, I forgot to install the optional dependencies. That's good now
