Public bug reported: I initially posted this bug to the Firefox issue tracker here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1596397, but we determined it was specific to the Ubuntu package.
When I play the video in this JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/ea9h3bg7/, there should be no audio. This is the behavior in the Firefox 70 build that you can get from Mozilla's website. However, with the Ubuntu build, audio is still heard. --- Ubuntu 19.10, Firefox that shipped with the distro, upgraded to 70.0.1 via the Ubuntu update manager.
