I noticed with the latest Firefox update to V53, I've lost the volume button on the player.  Not sure if there is a tweak that can be made to the player options to force the volume button to show.

The only thing I have is a speaker button that does a mute.

I dunno... Version 53 works fine for me.... Both 32bit WIN 7 and 64bit WIN 7... FF Developer version 54.02 also works fine Win7 32 and 64 bit versions. ?????/ Haven't checked yet on WIN 10 ... I note WIN 10 machines currently doin' their idiotic 'update whether you wan to or not' thing... I'll let you know...

I only have Win10 64 bit on all of my machines.  All of them are doing it.  Not a major deal.

It's on FF doing it.  Just test IE11, Chrome, and even Edge.  Only FF loses the volume option.

I just did the upgrade to FF53 on Win 10 and seeing the issue on the wxnoaaradio.php page as well, it seems that FF does something to the volume control, I did not see this with FF52.  Looking into it to see if there is a fix.  Update: Can't find any documentation on it, maybe a problem with FF53.

Folks, I simply do not see that issue on FF53 on Win 7, Win 8, or Win 10 machines, 32 bit or 64 bit. All mine work fine, Edge, IE 11 , FF 53 and FF 54.0A2 Developer..;. it's all good for me on all my machines.
???????
Only silly thing I can think of, is, the Vol Control png disappears if speaker is 'mute'....  that's design...  ????

Ok cleared out stuff.  Here is what is happening that didn't happen before.  The volume on the noaaweatherradio site works fine.  The html5 tag on the wxnoaaradio.php page actually shows the volume control when it first comes up and than once it starts to play it goes away, like your description of being on mute, but it isn't on mute ](*,)   I did not have that before on 52, and like you, it works fine on all the other platforms.  I will watch and see what happens, maybe just a quirk of this update and my system.

Just updated both Chrome and FF to their latest versions, and cleared cache. I'm not having any issues here on https://sacrey.info/wxnoaaradio.php. I'm running Win 7 64 bit.

Ok... I did have this strange issue on one WIN 10 machine,.... not with the Vol Control, but neither Edge nor FF would access any of the audio streams, even the 'hurricane', which is on server.  That machine just completed the silly update sequence... I rebooted the machine.  Now Fine.
Somebody's turned loose gremlins... I suspect this issue isn't with firefox per se.  every install I have works fine now... ...????

Where is the CCR blog post you're talking about? I must have missed that, I'd like to read it.

Thanks,

This is exactly what I'm seeing too.  And I have all of my Firefox browsers to clear cache on exit.

Folks, Other then the below possibility, I've tried numerous attempts to duplicate this, on various platforms and machines, and simply cannot see the issue... the ONLY issue I noted was on one machine, after WIN 10 did it's auto update horror, and the player would NOT access ANY streams in ether EDGE or Firefox, but after rebooting that system, no issue. 

By design, this is a responsive player. I don't remember the exact breakpoint, but I believe it's 524 pixels, the Volume Bar is sacrificed, as would a couple of other features if they were enabled... That also occurs on the 'pop-out' version... but it does that, as far as I know, and have observed, on all browsers, including Androids that I've checked.. that's by design,... is that what's happening?

I don't have Chrome on my work machine where I'm at at the moment.  But at home, it did work fine.  But here's what I'm seeing in FF, IE11, and Edge.  Only FF drops the volume slider.

Yes it is the latest updates from Win10 and FF53 in combination that seems to have created this result on a standard html 5 audio tag.  There is no documentation that I can find as yet of the issue, and I am not even sure if it occurs on all computers with the combo.  This issue did not exhibit itself in earlier versions of win10 or with FF52.  The last thing I want to do is add more java script code to cover the issue.  If anyone comes across some info on what is happening I would be glad to hear it.

Yeah, sorry, Bob's script.

I just verified your player is fine with FF53.  Other than it doesn't default to my site.  :-)

Your image shows the volume control.  Firefox is dropping the track time scrubber, probably because this is a 'stream', not an mp3 with ID3 time / length tags.  8-)

Just added 138

Nope, it's leaving the time bar in there.  I can use it to move back in time.  The speaker button just mutes.  Like previously posted, it'll briefly flash a speaker bar after the mute button.  Then it disappears.

I should have labeled those better.  Middle one is Firefox.  Top is edge, bottom is IE.

I was confused too. I'm not seeing any problem with volume control with Chrome but could be issue for visitors using Firefox.
