 Replying to [comment:5 gk]:
 > This is no regression, see below. But that said #20685 seems to be the
 parent ticket you are looking for (in case there isn't already a more
 specific fitting your bug). Feel free to open child tickets for issues you
 find with steps to reproduce them. Thanks.
 I didn't write it's a regression. But you don't mind that Mozilla's FPI
 suxx, right? You just didn't analyze it yet, according to #20685.
 > FWIW: I see this in 6.5.2 as well, so this has nothing to do with
 Mozilla's First Party Isolation code.
 And why does ext helper trigger here instead of playing wav in the browser
 (as others)?
