Always state your Puppy version
and in this case, how you installed Firefox.

Which Bionicpup?
Bionicpup64 8.0?
Bionicpup32 8.0?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

You need to specify 64bit or 32bit as these 2 BionicPups are different.
Do you have sound from other applications such as a media player (or other browser)?
Firefox installed via Puppy Package Manager or QuickPet (in 64bit) ?
What is the Firefox version?
You can see what is in front of you, but we can't, so you have to give as much information as possible.
As a test, if Firefox is installed in /opt, you can try in terminal

Code: Select all

apulse /opt/firefox/firefox

Testing in BionicPup32 now.
It does not seem to have QuickPet (BionicPup64 does).
Perhaps you mean installing Firefox from Menu>Internet>Get Web Browser ?
I just did that and it downloads Firefox 74.0 as .sfs package and loads it.
The icon is missing from the Menu entry, but sound in YouTube works, so I can not reproduce your problem.

The main firefox directory is placed in /usr/lib rather than /opt in this case, but the package also contains a launcher script at /usr/bin/firefox which handles all the necessary things including apulse for sound.

Having said that, I am a bit confused about the apulse package in this Puppy but I might post about this in the Bionic32 thread.
