Describe the bug

When using videos on Firefox with a spoofed user-agent (I used "Chrome/Windows") to trigger the bug, the audio becomes incredibly distorted with noise and very low-pitched.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Get any extension to spoof the user-agent
  2. Set the user-agent to Chrome/Windows (I tested this against a User agent that spoofs Chrome 125 on Windows 10)
  3. Attempt to play any video, this should trigger the bug

Expected behavior

The audio quality should not have absurd amounts of noise and sound distorted (much lower pitch) when attempting to play any video.

Details

  • Platform: Desktop Linux, Firefox
  • Platform version: Web
  • App version: Latest Web App (1.91?)

Additional context
I don't know if this is something that is going to be fixed or even worth being fixed to be honest, but these checks probably shouldn't use the user-agent and should probably instead use feature detection for code quality.

There also don't seem to be any information in the console, again, just really strange behavior.
