getUserMedia give a error on Firefox, and silently fails on Chrome

Full Js code

        navigator.getUserMedia = ( navigator.getUserMedia ||
                   navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||
                   navigator.mozGetUserMedia ||
                   navigator.msGetUserMedia);

        var session = {
          audio: true,
          video: false
        };
        var recordRTC = null;
        navigator.getUserMedia(session, initializeRecorder, onError);

        function initializeRecorder(stream) {
            console.log ("init Recorder");
            var audioContext = window.AudioContext;
            var context = new audioContext();
            var audioInput = context.createMediaStreamSource(stream);
            var bufferSize = 2048;
            // create a javascript node
            var recorder = context.createJavaScriptNode(bufferSize, 1, 1);
            // specify the processing function
            recorder.onaudioprocess = recorderProcess;
            // connect stream to our recorder
            audioInput.connect(recorder);
            // connect our recorder to the previous destination
            recorder.connect(context.destination);
        }

        function recorderProcess(e) {
            var left = e.inputBuffer.getChannelData(0);
            // window.Stream.write(convertFloat32ToInt16(left));
        }

        function onError(errorText)
        {
            console.log (errorText);
        }

When loading this page, Firefox executes the onError callback for getUserMedia. The error tells:

NotFoundError: The object can not be found here.

Chrome, instead, simply does nothing.

Both FF and Chrome doesn't ask me for permission to use microphone. Why?

Turn on your microphone in Device Manager. Make sure have any available mic in system.

You need to run the page from a http(s) protocol. If you run it from file:// security restrictions kicks in.

Also, in Chrome AudioContext is prefixed so you need to change this line:

var audioContext = window.AudioContext;

to

var audioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext;

In addition, createJavaScriptNode is obsolete. Consider using createScriptProcessor instead.

(Eventually the ScriptProcessorNode will also be replaced, by Audio Workers - not yet implemented in any browsers though, but something to be aware of for later).
