User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 Steps to reproduce: Navigated to a youtube video with official firefox under debian. Actual results: No sound, a top bar message appears telling me I may need to install pulseaudio and a button to learn how that lead to a non-existing web page. Expected results: Sound should have played, libpulse is already installed on this system

From what I gathered on another similar bug report, having libpulse is not enough and firefox requires complete installation of the pulseaudio server which was not installed by default when installing debian. This bug should marked as duplicate of 1345661.

All I know is I have to fire up chromium each time I want to watch a YouTube movie. Chromium can deal with them fine, without me needing to install the pulseaudio stuff here on Debian which I do not want to do.
$ apt-cache show chromium | perl -nwle 'print for /......pulse..../g;' libpulse0 $ apt-cache show firefox | perl -nwle 'print for /......pulse..../g;' $
