firefox-52.0

[ken@…]

Security fixes at ​https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/#firefox52, it also drops support for NPAPI plugins other than flash.

And there I was hoping flash would finally die.

What the release notes don't say is that they've made pulse a hard requirement for audio - I've got pics for youtube nad local mp4, ogv files - but no sound. Looks like ​https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247056 : in theory, pulse is dlopened so it might be possible to add it after firefox. But we disable pulse in our mozconfig, and that was not flagged up as an invalid option.

I'll upload the latest version of the patch for system graphite2 and harfbuzz.

Rebuilt it on top of pulse. I can see the following in log:

checking for libpulse... yes
checking MOZ_PULSEAUDIO_CFLAGS... -D_REENTRANT
checking MOZ_PULSEAUDIO_LIBS... -lpulse

But still no sound on youtube or local mp4 files. I'll have to look at configuring pulse when I've had some sleep.

Minor note after building it (using alsa) on a different machine: I had to remove flashblock to get video output on any of hte videos I tried! Sound was fine, so noting this in case anybody else hits that problem.
