[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1718336] Re: Firefox requires PulseAudio for working sound again
I just read this on the changelog: * Disable ALSA backend for Firefox 55 because it makes the build failure. This will remain disabled until somebody steps up to maintain it So ALSA support got temporary disabled because the current state seems to be not fully compatible with Firefox 55. Hopefully this can be fxed soon but since upstream (Mozilla) does not intend to reconsider supporting ALSA again I wonder if this will get more and more tricky to maintain for downstream (Ubuntu) in the future and if at some point support for ALSA will fully stop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1718336 Title: Firefox requires PulseAudio for working sound again Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 dev with Firefox 55.0.2+build1-0ubuntu4 and Firefox requires PulseAudio for working sound again.
