2017-03-08 23:22:27 Forest description Upgrading Firefox to version 52 on an ALSA-only system breaks audio on all websites. PulseAudio has apparently become a hard requirement in the latest version of Firefox, but since PulseAudio is (due to its design) not viable on some systems, this renders Firefox useless as a general-purpose browser. The upstream code still contains ALSA support. Please re-enable it on Ubuntu. I have read that Arch Linux has already done so.
