I wanted to test the new firefox and later downgraded back to the 52.3.0-esr version. Now audio in youtube is broken. Also my saved tabs from the last session were lost at some point, but this I cannot reproduce. lines from xsession-errors ###!!!

Unfortunately I don't think it has ever been "safe" to downgrade firefox versions on a profile (although it has worked on quite a number of occasions). Please try starting a clean profile and see if the issue persists with firefox-52.3.
Yeah, I used another user, tried a blank profile or used my three months old backup instead, for all of them the audio worked for html5 streams. Do you see any chance to rescue the current profile?
I have seen profile rescue tools. But on a mozilla forum/chat you will get better support. I close here, as it is an upstream bug, we can do nothing from the gentoo perspective.
Ok, but can you please privode people with a proper warning? Because in the meantime I learned that Mozilla now explicitly denies backwards compability of profiles from 55.0 on, but sometimes there are bugs making the browser unusable as in #617690 where fonts are rendered unreadable for some users.
I'm reopening because I could reproduce this on a clean profile. Can't nail it down yet, but I found out that firefox-bin-52.3.0 does *not* have this problem while firefox-52.3.0 is affected. Is there anything about the patchset that could be responsible?
OK, so if the issue is youtube and some other sites not working with 52.3 and nothing related to the downgrade, are you ok if we adjust the subject to match? (I vaguely recall there being something mentioned about this before but I recall neither the specifics nor the solution at the moment)
So I made it, hopefully. There are preferences to enable or disable Electrolysis (multithreading) in firefox. It used to be activated for the upstream binaries, but deactivated in the binaries build from sources by anyone not from the upstream team. It can be disabled or enabled via browser.tabs.remote.autostart browser.tabs.remote.autostart2 where a value of true enables it, a value of false disables it. Per default for the gentoo www-client/firefox it seems to be that first one is disabled (value=false) and the autostart2 is enabled (value=true). If this is the correct preset I'd opt to turn both values to false by default via gentoo-default-prefs.js-1 as long as Electrolysis is not considered to be stable. I had the same problem on another maschine, where I upgraded from 51.2.1 to 52.3.0, so not sure about anything right now.
I can confirm that is seems to be the problem related to Electrolysis and NOT downgrade - I have the same problem (no sound on youtube) after upgrading 52.2.0 to 52.3.0. Setting browser.tabs.remote.autostart to false seems to fix the issue.
Has this been fixed in firefox-52.2-patches-03.tar.xz @Ian? There is a commit in the overlay: https://cgit.gentoo.org/proj/mozilla.git/commit/?id=890bd40a38a79e76463e1c60d7d018b484af598e
I see no emerge --info on this bug. Without it noone can answer your questions.
The commit in the mozilla overlay is written and commited by you, why don't you reply in a more cooperative way? In the meantime I found out that you added 2003_fix_sandbox_prlimit64.patch into the tarball, and therefore it is not very likely that this solved the sound issues.
Audio has stopped working after the recent update to Firefox for me as well. I noticed that there's a zombie dbus process that doesn't appear until after Firefox is launched if that's any help. ps -A | grep dbus 2877 ? 00:00:00 dbus-daemon 3442 ? 00:00:00 dbus-launch 3443 ?

I too can confirm that an upgrade from 52.2.0 to 52.3.0 broke sound on youtube, and setting browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 to false fixed the problem.
Confirmed: no audio. Note: - I use alsa - I do NOT use pulseaudio in any way Could this be related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1345661 ?
browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false also fixed it for me. However, I needed to restart firefox first.

This could very well be we flip'd sandboxing on in 52.3 bump. If someone wants to revert the change in the eclass and test, we can determine for sure if it is sandboxing issue.

We have standards for bug filling for a reason. It is not our job to guess are your setup to try and duplicate the issue. If you are not comfortable providing the basic info then please seek help elsewhere.
Created attachment 492934 [details, diff] Disable sandbox support in esr eclass Soon as someone can confirm if the eclass change being reverted fixes the problem I will push to tree.

Pratt from comment #18) > Created attachment 492934 [details, diff] [details, diff] > Disable sandbox support in esr eclass > > Soon as someone can confirm if the eclass change being reverted fixes the > problem I will push to tree. Finally finished the rebuild with the eclass change reverted, and it fixes the missing sound for me when using electrolysis / multi-process. The sound always worked if I disable electrolysis by setting both of the mentioned autostart configs to false (which is the default, I think?), regardless of the eclass change. (firefox-52.3.0 on amd64 4.11.12-ck, built with "dbus gmp-autoupdate jemalloc pgo", using the alsa backend and not pulseaudio, which is the only reason I don't use firefox-bin in the first place.)

Just wonder for which reason it got activated?
Sandbox is disabled on esr builds, change made via eclass so no revision bumps
As asked, quick comment from my case. I had the same symptoms, the proposed fix did solve my issue, and after rebuilding firefox from a freshly synced portage tree, same version, I do not reproduce the bug anymore either, while reverting back to the default settings which are browser.tabs.remote.autostart false browser.tabs.remote.autostart2 true with the following config for firefox itself [ebuild R ] www-client/firefox-52.3.0::gentoo USE="bindist gmp-autoupdate jemalloc -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -dbus -debug -gtk2 -hardened -hwaccel -jack (-neon) -pgo -pulseaudio (-rust) (-selinux) -startup-notification (-system-cairo) -system-harfbuzz -system-icu -system-jpeg -system-libevent -system-libvpx -system-sqlite {-test} -wifi" L10N="-ach -af -an -ar -as -ast -az -bg -bn-BD -bn-IN -br -bs -ca -cak -cs -cy -da -de -dsb -el -en-GB -en-ZA -eo -es-AR -es-CL -es-ES -es-MX -et -eu -fa -ff -fi -fr -fy -ga -gd -gl -gn -gu -he -hi -hr -hsb -hu -hy -id -is -it -ja -ka -kab -kk -km -kn -ko -lij -lt -lv -mai -mk -ml -mr -ms -nb -nl -nn -or -pa -pl -pt-BR -pt-PT -rm -ro -ru -si -sk -sl -son -sq -sr -sv -ta -te -th -tr -uk -uz -vi -xh -zh-CN -zh-TW" pulseaudio is globally disabled on my system and I do not have it installed.
