As with other large packages which use C++ (or rust), the SBU times
|
|
to build this vary more widely than you might expect. Also, almost 6GB

of real memory is used during the final link and the SBUs can increase

significantly if the machine has to swap to do this.

With this version of <application>firefox</application>, getting

working sound can be a problem. Although upstream prefers pulseaudio,

on balance using <application>Alsa</application> may be easier.

</para>

|
|
If you enabled <application>Alsa</application> for sound, you may need
|
|
to alter one variable to get working sound. If you run
|
|
<command>firefox</command> from a term and try to play something with
|
|
sound you might encounter error messages like:

<para>

That was on x86_64, on i686 the syscall number is 54. To allow this

syscall, in <command>about:config</command> change

<command>security.sandbox.content.syscall_whitelist</command> to 16

If you use <command>pulseaudio</command> in a Desktop Environment, it
|
|
might already be started by that DE. But if it is not, although
|
|
firefox-57 managed to start it, firefox-58 does not. If you run

<command>firefox</command> from a term, trying to play sound will

encounter error messages warning <literal>Can't get cubeb

|

</para>

<para>
|

The fix for this is to close firefox, start pulseaudio to check it
|
|
does start (if not, read the information on Configuring in <xref
|
|
linkend="pulseaudio"/>) and restart firefox to check it is working.
|
|
If it now works, add the following to your <filename>~/.xinitrc</filename>:

<phrase revision="sysv">

<literal>pulseaudio --verbose --log-target=syslog&</literal></phrase>
