Dear Mike, Good day to you.
By the way, I met this issue as well. However, from what I found on the related issue, is the "Pulseaudio" has not been included in package dependency. Since, the Mozilla had decided to take Pulseaudio support from Firefox 52, as following official link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues#w_you-may-need-to- install-the-required-pulseaudio-software I'm running Debian stable (Stretch), where no issue for firefox-esr (52.9.0esr-1~deb9u1) to run without "Pulseaudio", but no sound issue happens for firefox-esr (60.2.0esr-1~deb9u2). The warning messages are appended, in this email message, as reference. Hence, is that possible to add the "Pulseaudio" as required dependency, in future? sla@hostname:~$ /usr/bin/firefox-esr --version Mozilla Firefox 60.2.0 sla@hostname:~$ /usr/bin/firefox-esr # then "youtube.com" is loaded.
