NS 2.6.9.37rc1, SeaMonkey 2.35, Linux x86_64

STR:
1) go to http://www.forcexl.com/post/Best-Of-Valentin.aspx, make sure nothing from forcexl.com is (Temp-)Allowed
2) un-block the audio by clicking on the placeholder
3) click the pause button

Expected results: audio is paused

Actual results: nothing happens. The only way to pause is to right-click somewhere not in the "seek" area & click the "Pause" menu item.
Once the audio is paused, clicking the play button will play only a tiny amount of the audio - to resume it properly, must right-click & click the "Play" menu item.
Oh, and after it's been fiddled with along these lines, seeking becomes a play/pause button? Actually, everything BUT the play/pause button is a play/pause button!
Reloading the page manually does *not* bring it back to normal.

And in a test profile with NS disabled & javascript.enabled set to false, this issue is not present; enabling NS brings this issue back regardless of browser's JS enabled setting.

I didn't look, is it Flash?
Seem to recall a bug on the FF end that you had to hit some button twice, kind of thing. Sounds like what you're saying.
Don't know Bug # offhand, or even where it may have crossed my path?
So might check FF 40, without extensions, & see if the same might occur?

No, it's HTML5 audio element, no Flash.

Can't atm, sorry.
What I will do though is see if the same happens in a completely clean profile with only NS, in SeaMonkey 2.35.

EDIT In case I didn't make it clear in the OP, without NS all this works exactly as expected.

Confirmed there too. I have also verified that this happening regardless of whether the "default" extensions are enabled.

OK, confirmed.

Prior to looking at the issue, your description sounded like some sort of FF Bug I thought I read about, where Flash (video) was requiring a double click of Play/Pause to affect an action.

In any case, when I actually did look, I was able to confirm the issue you posted.

Bug 1173848 - Play button indicates wrong state , and there is a need to click twice on the play button to start playing if media.autoplay.enabled = false

It happens also with <video>
