[Solved] Firefox can not play audio/mp4(aac)

There is an music site where I can play music online.But firefox just give me an error like this:

HTTP "Content-Type" of "audio/mp4" is not supported. Load of media resource http://ws.stream.qqmusic.qq.com/C20000169sFo3JQRLo.m4a?vkey=EA0FC12CF6135BECC41BFC1E421B99B8F4766301F954A0CDEA48A3D07F63865A&guid=1012572320&fromtag=0 failed.

I can play it well with smplayer if I download the music to local.

I did some search but still can not play muisc online, the error remains same
here is what I've installed:

Re: [Solved] Firefox can not play audio/mp4(aac)

Your link works on both Chromium[39.0.2171.71 (64-bit)] and Firefox [34.0.5] here. 
Pulseaudio/Alsa back end

Install the other optional dependency: gst-plugins-good.

Next time be sure to check pacman's output as it tells you about optional dependencies on install and you can get this info any time with 'pacman -Qi foo'.
