>    I fired up Update Manager to check what fixes were waiting - decided

>    audio back.  This affected ALL audio playback whether from my browser
>    or from other audio apps (Totem, Rhythmbox etc).

>    I tested with iPlayer - and while I could watch images, there was no
>    audio at all until I rebooted.

>    I have Firefox set as my default browser in System Preferences -

>    output?
>
>    What was concerning was - I had Firefox open at the time -

>    Expected behaviour... that the Launchpad page would open up in a new
>    tab within Firefox.
