I am fed up with FF now. I have no audio output in my Ubuntu and Windows from firefox in any website. It was working in youtube when i switched to HTML5 player, and now its also not working. No audio at all, but video plays fine.

You wrote it your self you used wime and you had sound the wime is an emulation of win32 bit application (no x64 bits area allowed) but is successfully running applications like you are in windows 32 bits. without the right libraries in linux what ever you do it will not help you.

What libraries are yo talking about? It used to work fine in linux till a couple of weeks ago. Suddenly stopped working

Did you download the source of any version of Firefox and did you try to compile it? I told you to do it and you ignore me i did upload in here

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1076723

a tone of pictures of the compile i did of nightly in a virtual machine with debian 8.1 using the latest libraries the make did automatic everything and i was doing su root to install them any time it found an error finally in the end i was running without 1 error in the browser and i was watching even the mobile version of this web side, something i can't do in windows using the exe they allow to download!? What i mean is having Linux and running wime that emulates win 32 application (IT CAN NOT RUN X64 BROWSERS) what is the difference none.

Put 32 bit windows in your machine if you can't

Try the version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution. You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (40.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

if what you say is true we can see it by typing "./firefox&" in a terminal window as you did before and we did see so many errors!? Now that you say is working and you get none it means a memomy dimm is faulty and sometimes it works and sometimes is not or a problem in your power supply sometimes it dosent deliver much power supply and some time is not.

i strongly sugges to download a source and do the make your self I gcan help you finish it and download the latest libs if you like.
