Apulse crashes the application if the chosen device doesn't provide required functions (input/output) about apulse HOT 5 CLOSED

This bug is invalid. My Linux distro has all sound cards mixed up, so the default device (a USB mic) cannot actually output audio.

Still, it's a bug in apulse - please check whether the output device is available and die gracefully (or output to /dev/null).

BTW, what is the value of security.sandbox.content.level on about:config? If it's 2 or greater, apulse won't work: sandbox code blocks file access, and that's why apulse cannot open an ALSA device.

ALSA support was completely removed.

I believe, one can still can create own Firefox build with ALSA support enabled. It's just default builds have no such support anymore.

I've already told you that it works just fine. It's just my output devices that were mixed up and apulse crashed while trying to output audio via my USB microphone.

Hopefully you'll create a workaround for that.

I think, f09acc0 should prevent crashing. It's merged into master branch.
