Full Version: firefox, firefox-esr & sound (tl;dr: choose firefox-esr)

If you are going to install Firerfox via apt you have the option of firefox and forefox-esr.  For simmplicity I believe most people will be happier with choosing firefox-esr.   

If you want to use the firefox package there will be issues with audio because it works with PulseAudio instead of Alsa. 
To overcome this in the term do:
apulse firefox

That will launch firefox with pulse emulation and give firefox sound.

This isn't necessary with firefox-esr, it will work with Alsa instead of PulseAudio.
