FF needs to be compiled passing the flag:

ac_add_options --enable-alsa

I removed pulseaudio, apulse and libpulse0, and the sound is working 
for me.

Is it still working with pulseaudio after being compiled with 
--enable-alsa? If yes we could add a Devuanized firefox to the build 
process.

    Why do you need to track the very last version from Mozilla? The
package provided in Devuan Chimaera just works with Alsa out of the box.

Packaging for i386 requires cross-compilation under 64 bits because it 
takes a lot of ram:


http://packages.gnuinos.org/gnuinos/pool/main/i/icecat/ 



All my native attempts failed, even with PAE extension. It requires also 
a lot of swap.



And it would have to be recompiled every time mozilla releases a new 
version.


It would have to be recompiled at every new release of devuan. But, as Didier 
has pointed out, packages pulled from
debian mirrors work with alsa out of the box. I don't know about the 
precompiled tarballs downloaded from mozilla's
website.

Cheers,

Aitor.

Yes, i tried removing alsa and reinstalling pulseaudio, and it still works.

[DNG] new firefox-esr buggy?

[Haines Brown]

A recent upgrade installed the new version of Firefox: 78.15.0esr. 
It was released on 5 Oct 2021.

It has a very annoying behavior and I wonder if others experience 
it. I have torbrowser installed. It works fine, and so I don't think
it is a problem with X window system. I purged Firefox and 
reinstalled it with no custsomization, and it still showed the
behavior. So it seems part of the Firefox release itself.

The behavior is hard to describe. When I scoll text up or down by 
using the arrow keys, the lines of text begin to break up and 
become unreadable until they settle about one second after the 
scroll ends.  Actually it is thin horizontal white lines less 
than a cm wide that last a second. Nowhere else do I have 
this problem with scrolling.

Another symptom: when the cursor is moved to or away from the 
scroll bar, the grey scrollbar is broken into a vertical set of 
grey and light grey lines for about a second. When I drag the
scrollbar to scroll text, text and images are broken up by 
horizontal white linees for a about a second. In a colored
image these lines can be colors from the image.

I use Firefox a lot, I currently have 12 windows open and 9 of them 
scrolls and I just went up and down using arrowkey in all of them and it 
looks good here.

To me looks more like a video driver issue. But it's just a hunch

The preceding didn't work for me either.
