I beg you to enable ALSA by default and maintain it working for the sake of lightweight community.
If you want to avoid "multiple audio backends" you are doing it wrong, once PulseAudio depends on ALSA, have you ever tried to uninstall libasound2? The application may be easier to maintain, but the system pay the price, if you want to drop some backend, then drop PA and stick with ALSA, once every system that have PA requires ALSA.
Another good reason is not to lose audience, once other browsers is maintaining ALSA support, the problem is most of them are not necessarily lightweight. And there is a plenty of lightweight browsers that does not even support multimedia.
I have being strong on my choice for Firefox, but dropping ALSA support is forcing me to look for alternatives, please, I beg you to reconsider the decision.

Where is the secondary email option mentioned in the article "Change primary email address on Firefox Accounts"?

The linked article (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-primary-email-address-firefox-accounts) says you can set up a secondary email for your Sync account in your account settings page, and after that you can change the primary email account if you wish, but I do not find the option.
The only options that are appearing in my account settings page are: account picture, display name, devices & apps, password and delete account (I attach an screen-shot).
I'm running Firefox 55.0.2 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS (64 bits).
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have Aladdin eToken with my personal certificate on it. While token is attached to my computer, I cannot use Firefox while token is locked (FF constantly asks for token PIN) and cannot use secure connection to many sites while token is attached and unlocked (SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE).
This is completely discouraging. What have I to do to make FF perform in correct manner?

I tried the narrate feature in Firefox, and it is AWESOME. Just one problem, the voices I have installed are terrible! How can I get new voices loaded in to use?

Hi folks,
I am one of a few people using FF 50.0 on Raspbian/Jessie. (That's a Raspberry PI running Jessie.)
I needed this version to allow an addon to work, but that's ANOTHER story.
Problem: (The config I have now is "nothing" compared to how I once had FF running on THIS machine. 5 windows, 100+ tabs and it was USABLE! Today it is 2 windows and about 20 tabs and it is complaining.)
I have a few youtube tabs and am restoring a session. I see a message about "This is slow: Fix problem / Don't tell me again." I clicked on the FIX problem and was told about "refreshing" firefox to MAYBE fix the problem.
Troubleshoot firefox and press REFRESH. I read things that it wipes and things it keeps.
But this is different to what I read/understand else where. Sorry I am really having a hard time tracking what is where just now, which isn't helping the bigger problem with FF.
I have it customised FF. Addons, etc. It is the way I like it. But as I was about to press the button I read "It wipes your addons"
Now, I don't mind pressing a REFRESH button and have it clean out "junk" which may be clogging up the machine/program, but WIPING MY ADDONS!!??
Sure it says it puts the old config "on your desktop"...... That is windowz talk. I'm using Linux/Jessie. I am not sure that translates correctly.
Also I don't want to go through the hassle of maybe having to re-install all the addons (and their settings), if it doesn't work. As there is only 1 youtube tab being loaded, it shouldn't be THAT much of a problem. It could just be something else being picky.
As I said, I have run it with 5 windows and 100+ tabs open. Though that was the Jessie version, not the "experimental" version that this is.
Can someone clarify if it "wipes" all the addons, or what it does.
I am tempted to "restart with all addons disabled" to see what happens. But thought I would ask because of the differing information given on different sites about what happens. Both sites Mozilla sites. Or was it in FF that I read it? Anyway....
Thanks in advance.
