I started FF in the terminal, went to utube, and the sound worked and there were no error messages.

Your firefox-esr does work with apulse. So you do not have to worry about sandbox settings.

Somehow apulse is not applied, if you start firefox-esr via menu.
Check, if the the exec line in ‘/usr/share/applications/firefox-esr.desktop’ is correct.
Maybe you have to run ‘Update Menu’ (in System menu).
To apply changes of firefox-esr.desktop you might have to restart your window manager (logout –> login again – or reboot).

Here is the exec line: Exec=apulse /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr %u
(note there is a space after apulse)

I ran “Update Menu”.

I rebooted the laptop.

Still no sound

The sound is now working.

I went into Control Center > maintenance > edit menus and set Firefox-esr to “shown”, and now it works.

Thanks for the help.
