Thank you ghomem for the Specific Toggle. - Found an old internet posting.. And messed with some of the Firefox 'about:config' settings.. Got Facebooks HTML5 Player AUDIO to work. I found the solution here in an older Internet Article Posting. If it wasn't for the author's correction of the 'search term' to media.* it would not have worked. (sorry, I'm not a techie.).. http://www.linuxveda.com/2015/04/02/enable-mse-native-html5-support-firefox-linux/
