Hi,
I installed Firefox and Chrome. ie. first time you click Menu/Internet/Firefox (and Chrome), it goes to download and install latest.
firefox-61.0.1-x86_64-official.txz
google-chrome-08062018-x86_64-official.txz
Both installed OK.
Firefox does not have sound (eg. youtube).
Chrome does not have this problem, and neither Seamonkey that came with Fatdog - both have sound.
Anyone knows why pls?
Laptop Dell Latitude D630, Intel Core2Duo@2.20GHz, 2GB RAM, 60GB SSD.
BIOS says it's got Sigmatel 9205 audio controller.
Thanks.
Chrome & Seamonkey OK, but Firefox - No sound. FATDOG64

Firefox is a piece of junk when it comes to sound requirements.
It needs Pulse Audio.
This is suppose to work, but Firefox keeps constantly changing what it wants.
Just have the apulse 0.1.11 from here installed. Nothing else.
Make sure to use the correct bit version.

Reboot after you install it to make sure it is saved and loaded at the correct place.
You will also need this:
/root/.mozilla/firefox
Look for a directory that ends in .default
Put the user.js file in that directory.
Use Geany to make this user.js file.
This is what needs to be in it.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

You could try this version of Firefox.
Uninstall any Firefox you installed before installing it.
