Try setting > dom.ipc.plugins.enabled -> false. Hello. Thanks for this hint! I deactivated ALSA in the opetions-menu (as well as RTC stuff since it only builds with ALSA). I used PULSEAUDIO instead. I also configured the option in Firefox itself as recommended. The result is, that now the videos, no matter how they are embedded in a webpage, can be played again and Firefox isn't crashing anymore. dom.ipc.plugins.enabled -> true also remains the Firefox stable. oh --=-9qbovGKoDXU0efhTt8ZW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAABAgAGBQJRSLaeAAoJEOgBcD7A/5N8NAoH/0Jz2QkCsaXMjbezwgkO88Fe WLcYVGRb9+f0iK5wCpD4v9Aae9hw49WM4y1VzLmYEDelgjcGx+HgNLlgJJwbJY8e ZU0QqDupuwsrymW8jeqcgjjyP8qrkE3o+UqtptAblPWWkY9yrGYNaR5H0CirYjgH 1tugK1PZaTw7l6fZU7j5krdwAhx/cnAFnoOLQDcAc+RZILOX+Y7qHXXP9LU+KytR r7FcpBtn7FkmgX86uHCbZWcUAdVrXfOcPz9iE0/n+ph3dSuFmLdBKBjTjzhN1qEq MyxD0i+dTxNfBxGFUwTOd09A4HLsSzMfFF9g4eeMrqrEH9OqifJpeaK0+qDkCBU= =HP43 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-9qbovGKoDXU0efhTt8ZW--
