You should install apulse and run that with Firefox! Works like a charm.

  You can also compile FF with ALSA enabled. Gentoo has a useflag for that.

    This is the better option (aside from fixing your PA config in the first place, which I'd heavily recommend instead). apulse can get into issues with Firefox's sandboxing. It supports PulseAudio and works with ALSA too, but ALSA-pretending-to-be-PA won't work. But really, fix your PulseAudio instead.

    In theory yes. But compiling Firefox is just a mess.

      ./mach bootstrap && ./mach build
    • Fnoord 9y ago
      You can just use your distribution's package manager for that.

    I thought they had plans to deprecate the build flag in a later version, but can't find verification.

      It will in any case not get any maintenance, so expect things to break with no recourse as new versions are released. This similar to how on paper Firefox can still be compiled with GTK2, but it is not supported.
