The audio tag does not working/playing on the latest Firefox version from Android 5.0, Samsung (SM-G900F) Js code: var mp3Path = "/music.mp3"; var _audioTagSrc = document.createElement('audio'); _audioTagSrc.src = mp3Path; _audioTagSrc.play();

I set the mp3 file to "src" attribute. I get from audio error event the error message saying that the mp3 is not supported.

Is the device running Android 5.0? There is a know issue blocking playback on that version of Android.

Yes, it's android 5.0 version. But on Android native browser and Chrome on the same device the audio is working.
