Mac Firefox: Playback wrapper doesn't work when console is closed

[pixelzoom]

ph-scale suffers from https://github.com/phetsims/phet-io-wrappers/issues/342 (Mac Firefox: Playback wrapper doesn't work without console open).

@arouinfar is this a pre-requisite for publishing ph-scale 1.4.0 ? If so, please provide the iO team with requested priority in that issue.

This issue is blocked until phetsims/phet-io-wrappers#342 is resolved.

Until we know more about this, it seems like we should count it as blocking.

Therefore I'm going to label this issue as "blocks-sim-publication".

@kathy-phet says that this issue does not block the dev delivery to the client, but should be addressed before rc.

Client feedback has been received and a production version is due "late August" (see #166). So undeferring this issue. Still blocked by phetsims/phet-io-wrappers#342.

@pixelzoom I think this issue has been fixed, and @KatieWoe has created https://github.com/phetsims/phet-io-wrappers/issues/352 for a second bug found while testing the fix for this one. If you think that that issue should be blocking publication for ph-scale, please mark it as so. Once reading this, please close this issue.

I replied that whether the new issue is blocking is not my call - it's up to designers. Assigning this issue to @arouinfar to decide whether https://github.com/phetsims/phet-io-wrappers/issues/352 is blocking for this pH Scale.

@KatieWoe has already verified that https://github.com/phetsims/phet-io-wrappers/issues/342 has been fixed.

After great frustration in figuring out how to use the recording and playback wrappers, I was unable to reproduce https://github.com/phetsims/phet-io-wrappers/issues/352 in Mac/Firefox so I wouldn't consider it blocking. I think we can go ahead and close this issue.
