Firefox starts in mute by default

  • 772

Firefox always starts at 0 vol as if that is supposed to be the default or something.

Any time I adjust the volume in firefox, I have to open pulse audio and turn the volume back up for firefox.

Any time a new video comes on Youtube, I have to open pulse audio and turn the volume back up for firefox.

Any time I skip forward or back in a playing video or track, I have to open pulse audio and turn the volume back up for firefox.

How can I set the default volume to FULL VOLUME?

I mean seriously, isn't that why there is a system volume?

Any help would be appreciated.

    I found a solution!

    First, I opened firefox went to about:config

    searched for: media.default_volume

    double clicked media.default_volume

    and finally, I changed the value to 5

    Additionally, I saw a solution somewhere else that suggested using 2.0 for media.volume_scale,

    make sure that media.volume_scale is set to 1.0

  2. In my system, Firefox for some reason did not have the permission to play sounds. To change it: right click on the icon of the app-> Show Details -> Click on the app -> Permissions -> play sound's check
