With preload disabled, html5 audios are kept forever with status 'loading' on Firefox, so they are never able to play. They work fine in other browsers and I believe this also used to work with older Firefox versions.

Once the audio file is in the browser's cache it will play, so clear cache first if you might have the file I used from Howler.js examples in the cache.

The problem is that Firefox is not firing the 'canplaythrough' event. Using 'canplay' instead works fine.

Playback of static audio files waits until whole file loaded, ignores ranges on Firefox 115 with html5 #1672
