[SOLVED] Broken HTML5 Firefox Audio - Ubuntu, U-Gnome, U-Mate, Lubuntu (+ Zorin, Linux Lite, etc.)

Solution to fix broken HTML5 MP3 and M4A Firefox audio in Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Gnome, Ubuntu-Mate and Lubuntu (and Linux Lite, Zorin, etc.)

Test sites: (1) https://html5test.com/
(2) http://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/
(3) http://www.gooplusplus.com/jukebox

SYNAPTIC - add gstreamer1.0-libav or gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
or Ubuntu Software Center - add Gstreamer extra plugins

BTW, Xubuntu and Kubuntu Firefox HTML5 audio already works fine and plays MP3 and M4A files (instead of downloading).

restarted browser, no luck, do I need to reboot?
