    I noticed that my firfox tabs do not show the audio indicator anymore (they did when I first installed elementary os).

    Here is what I noticed, when looking at the sound settings, sometimes the sound shows it is coming from firefox (when this happens the indicator works). But a lot of the time the sound shows it is coming from alsa sound, and when this happens the indicator does not show up.

    I rebooted into the live cd of elementary os, and the sound always shows it is coming through firefox, and always works. Is there a way to get this to work like it used to?

    It looks like I can only post one picture at a time. Here is a picture using the live cd with it working

    In case anyone else has this issue, I fixed it by going to about:config in firefox, and changed the plugin.state.flash from 2 to 0
