The website presto.fm lets you "stream" music of your preference using
YouTube as its player medium. This works even if you don't have an account
with them, so give it a try [http://presto.fm/station?recommenderName=tag-
recommender&tag=pop here]. You'll have to anyway, to verify this bug, so
go right ahead.
I've come across a really bizarre bug when it comes to HTTPS Everywhere
and presto.fm. If you, ''at any point during your browser session'' have
had HTTPS Everywhere enabled, presto.fm won't work properly. Even if you
never even visited presto.fm during this enabling and disabling. Presto.fm
''only ever'' works if you start your browser with HTTPS Everywhere
disabled (i.e. you turned it off before you closed your previous browser
session) and leave it disabled for the duration of your presto.fm
experience.
By the way, just so we're clear on what doesn't work when it isn't
working: The Prev, Pause and Next buttons do not work, nor does
automatically skipping to the next song after the current song is done.
Basically, it's as though presto.fm loses its ability to communicate with
the YouTube player due to HTTPS Everywhere.
An interesting and slightly different behavior happens if you enable HTTPS
Everywhere while you're listening to presto.fm but you're not on the
presto.fm tab in your browser when you do this. This causes the YouTube
player to start giving you error messages, but at least presto.fm hasn't
fully lost its ability to communicate with it at this point. Refresh,
though, and the main bug occurs.
I should also point out that in order to make sure it was HTTPS
Everywhere, I disabled all my other add-ons while testing this behavior
out, so I'm 99% certain this is a HTTPS Everywhere problem. My browser is
Firefox 19.0.2.
As I don't want to browse without HTTPS Everywhere, I've taken to using
presto.fm in a separate browser for the time being, but I'd really like to
get back to using just one.
