MediaRecorder on Firefox 53.0.2 does not support audio recording

I have an issue with the MediaRecorder API. It works fine on Chrome and used to work on earlier versions of Firefox (Mac), but since version 53.0.2, I get the following in the dev console:

--> MediaRecorder.isTypeSupported('audio/webm') false --> MediaRecorder.isTypeSupported('video/webm') true

Did Firefox stop supporting audio recording through the MediaRecorder API?

Firefox did implement MediaRecorder.isTypeSupported() in FF47. I did an mozRegression loop between now and 47 to check when it did change as you said.

Result : It never reported true for audio/webm in any version tried (on osX).

But, Firefox does support audio/ogg mimeType, (which I guess is the default for audio only). And since both Firefox and Chrome do record audio encoded with an Opus codec, the more common mimeType for the container is indeed audio/ogg.

Note that Chrome doesn't return true for audio/ogg.

Looking forward for this API.
