Firefox same randon number on event call

Question

I have a function randomPlay associated to event onended but the random number is always the same on Firefox. On Chrome it's okay. Anyone can explains why and how to fix?

 function randomPlay(){
    $("audio").html('<source src="'+srcArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * srcArray.length)]+'" type="audio/mpeg">');
    document.getElementById('audio').play();
    }

The element is this audio:

<audio id="audio" autoplay onended="randomPlay();" ><source src="music.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></audio>

UPDATE

I changed the element to:

<audio id="audio" autoplay onended="randonPlay();" src=""></audio>

and changed the function to:

function randonPlay(){
    $("audio").attr("src",srcArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * srcArray.length)]);
    document.getElementById('audio').play();
}

So all is fine now :) Thank You for your help all. Anyway I also found a lib to generate random numbers Chance.js

That really is strange, even MDN (the most authoritative source for MDN) says it should be seeded by time. — Amadan, Nov 18 '13 at 02:23

It's because the generator is seeded when the page loads. See this post for some info:

Here: Math.random() - Not random
