Package: firefox
Version: 76.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

as the title says, firefox 76 (and 75) crashes frequently when pages are
about to play audio, when pulseaudio is not installed. The exact cause
is not really known to me (it's not the actual audio, but dbus
connection to rtkit probably, but installing rtkit doesn't fix
it...). Anyway, I have reported this upstream and there is a fix
available, which is included in firefox 77:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1633266

Please consider including that fix for firefox 76 too, there was a
workaround for 75 which sadly doesn't work for 76.

Regards
    Jiri Palecek
