Description: New in the firefox 52 release is a requirement
to use pulseaudio for any audio output.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247056
(I couldn't find any mention of it in the release notes
though) This means for people who do not have pulseaudio
installed sound will just stop working when it worked fine
in firefox 51. I think at a minimum we should update the
package to have an optional requirement on pulseaudio for
sound output. (which won't help me because I do not want to
install pulseaudio, but it'll at least make it clear)
Additional info: * firefox-52.0-1 Steps to reproduce: Use firefox 52 and go to a page with sound output while not having pulseaudio installed. |
