I use Lubuntu, which I believe does not use pulse-audio, or uses a container for that, I do not know, but it seems to use alsa well.

Since I upgrade to Firefox 52, which does not accept plugins anymore, the sound stopped working, and it shows a tip to fix that, but when I click on it, the site does not exist anymore.

How can I fix the sound on Firefox 52 without replacing alsa?

youtobe requires sound

tip do not exists

Firefox 52 comes built-in with pulseaudio as default sound output.

So on a system with alsa only, sound is broken on firefox 52.

You can either rebuild firefox 52 with alsa using --disable-pulseaudio --enable-alsa as compile option switches.

Or install pulseaudio if you dare!

Try using Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release). It still supports plugins.

See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ for more information.
