** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Users of Lubuntu 16.04 LTS are left with no sound in the default web + browser, Firefox. This is a regression. For users with no knowledge of + what PulseAudio even is (and even for people who *do* know what it is), + this is not good. + + [Test Case] + + 1. Go to a website that plays sound in Firefox on Lubuntu 16.04. This, + for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QfHhFlTUN8 + + Expected: Sound should play without having to install any additional + software. + + Result: No sound is played, and the user is given a message that they + need to install PulseAudio. + + [Regression Potential] + + People might get mad that PulseAudio is now installed, without them + asking (but it adds functionality, so in my opinion this update is + needed, regardless). I see no technical regression potential, as it is + simply adding a dependency. + + [Original Description] + I am on Lubuntu, an ALSA-only system, after update Firefox to version 55.0.1 it started to ask for PulseAudio when playing media. Reference: https://i.imgur.com/5gEnaYv.png I have initially stated the bug here: https://askubuntu.com/q/946568 This bug also happened with Firefox 52 and were fixed on 52.0.2, it seems it have had returned: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1671273
