IIRC "ac_add_options --enable-alsa" was dropped for Arch's Firefox 52.0, but IIRC then the repositories provided the builds with enable-alsa again, but IIRC with Firefox 54 upstream dropped alsa completely. There's a thread from March that seems to confirm this... https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2017-March/043314.html ...yes, this time I build Firefox. Palemoon is installed on my machine, too. Just a few of the installed browsers: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q firefox apulse palemoon-bin icecat-bin qupzilla google-chrome firefox 56.0.1-1 apulse 0.1.10-1 palemoon-bin 27.5.1-1 icecat-bin 52.3.0-3 qupzilla 2.2.0-2 google-chrome 62.0.3202.62-1 In the past my favourite was qupzilla, but it became unstable and since I don't have flash installed and HTML doesn't stream videos very good, I tend to use chrome for this. Very often, when videos are interrupted without flash, they run without interruption, when using google-chrome. Btw. apulse firefox works without issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
