"Mute" command stops narration in text to speech mode #481

Open alexandra-martin opened 4 years ago

alexandra-martin commented 4 years ago

Prerequisites:

Mic permissions are enabled. A text to speech compatible tab is active and in narration mode, like a New York Times article.

STR:

  1. Use the shortcut or click on the mic icon from the browser toolbar.
  2. Say or write a "Mute" command.

Expected result:

Narration is muted.

Actual result:

Narration is stopped.

Notes:

Reproduced on Mac 10.14.6 and Win10x64 with Firefox Nightly 72.0a1 (64-bit).

After reproducing, I think it's not an issue with Firefox voice, but the narration tool itself. The mute works correctly other times in other scenarios.

Also, muting the narration tool manually (I mean by clicking mute in the tab) does not work. Consequently the right/correct intent on Firefox-voice would still pretty much fail to work.

@LilyLME on what OS and on what version of Firefox are you testing? I can try to find a device with your environment, to see if I have the same problem as well. On Mac 10.14 and Win10X64 with Firefox Nightly 76.0a1 (2020-03-09) I was able to manually mute the tab.

Updated to Nightly 76.0a1 (2020-03-10) (64-bit) and the stakes are the same! Probably this is a separate bug that has to be reported for the linux build.
