Hello, and Happy New Year!

There was a pr that resolved a problem with HTML5 audio in Firefox:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/183552

I was using firefox-esr-24.1.0_1,1, and sound in HTML5 worked OK.  
After updating to firefox-esr-24.2.0,1 there is again no sound in  
HTML5. It seems that the patch which was introduced in the above  
mentioned pr is no longer present in the ports tree. I manually added  
the patch to my local firefox-esr port and got sound working again.  
Maybe in firefox >25 the patch is no longer needed, but it seems that  
it is still necessary for firefox-esr.
