Maybe not an issue. Anyway i discovered that playing the same youtube video on my computer, the sound quality coming from Tor (based on Firefox 102.15.1) is much better than the sound coming from Firefox 118.0.2. Test made using the latest browsers version available. Platform Windows 10 64-bit

In what way is the sound quality better? Does Firefox 102.15.1 ESR also sound better?

I've downloaded it and tested... Tor (firefox 102.15.1esr) and Firefox 102.15.1esr have the same output quality, stronger and clearer than Firefox 118.0.2 (I did all the tests by listening the same youtube video at the same resolution and quality in all browsers)

You can run mozregression between version 102 and 118 to find when the quality changed.

Can that media player show details (right-click context menu) like about what codec is used ?
