Package: firefox-esr Version: 68.8.0esr-1 Severity: important Hello!
This morning I upgraded my Debian testing box, and firefox-esr had the following upgrade: [UPGRADE] firefox-esr:amd64 68.7.0esr-1 -> 68.8.0esr-1 After the upgrade, I noticed that firefox-esr was no longer able to find my microphone (mic input on the audio card integrated on my motherboard). At first, I thought the issue was due to some misconfiguration on my part (for instance on the ALSA side), but, no, ALSA is able to see the CAPTURE ports and they are enabled and unmuted. After going mad for quite some time, I saw that chromium was still happily to able to find the microphone and use it... Please note that the same configuration was working perfectly yesterday (before the firefox-esr upgrade). If I test on <https://www.onlinemictest.com/>, the response is: | We can't find your microphone - that most probably means that it's | either not connected, broken, or you don't have the proper webcam | drivers But no, it's not a webcam microphone (although I also have a webcam, which is correctly found by firefox-esr, as a video input). The issue is that firefox-esr can no longer find any microphone. I have also tried with "firefox-esr -safe-mode" and I am able to reproduce the issue, hence it does not seem to be caused by some extension. During these COVID-19 pandemic times, working from home, not being able to use the microphone with the browser (for teleconferencing, videocalls, and so forth) is a big regression. I would even say that this bug should have severity "grave". Please raise the severity, if you agree. Please try to reproduce the bug, fix it, and/or forward the bug report upstream, as appropriate.
