Playing music on Bandcamp

[Walter Lapchynski]

If you're not using Pepper, I'm disinclined to believe you're using
Flash at all. Maybe there's something with the HTML5 implementation in
the Firefox version you're running.

I note that 31 is still available in the repos (in
trusty-updates/security). Perhaps you might have better luck grabbing
37 if you don't already have it.

If that doesn't solve the problem, knowing the exact version
(apt-cache policy firefox) will be telling.

Running Firefox in the command line might help, too. It may produce
some telling output.
