FreeBSD uses OSS for sound.
]]>There is jessie, ascii, ceres, AND experimental, there is no such thing as ascii experimental.
You must have meant devuan experimental.
That is what I meant.

No package named apulse is even available.
Not in Devuan jessie either the last time I checked, maybe it's in ascii?
So, no libpulse0? That's the only thing I have on my system, VLC dragged it in (but doesn't really need it) so I deleted most of it, lol.

No ma'am. I did a "pkg search" for pulseaudio, looked at everything listed, and went from there. I would suppose apulse didn't show since the search only turned up packages with "pulseaudio" in the name. However, there was a package called "alsa-plugins-pulseaudio", and it wasn't installed.
I'll check on apulse when I get a chance...it'll be tomorrow though.
Ah-ha!!
Looks like somebody built it to run just alsa.
Maybe (?), but I can't say for sure since I may not have searched thoroughly enough. LOLOL! Installing FreeBSD reminds me somewhat of an Arch installation. Still much to learn at this point with FreeBSD. I'm getting unusually high CPU usage (even while idle at times), and I haven't been able to figure that out yet.
]]>Installed FreeBSD on a spare computer yesterday. Installed Firefox, and it was 57. After I finally figured out how to get my sound working , sound was working on Firefox too. As this is my first experience with FreeBSD, I can't say for sure, but it appears to have only alsa installed. I did several
pkg search
for pulseaudio and related packages, and none were installed.

]]>Do you have a link which shows those options are now removed in 57?
As far as I know, asla-lib support is still usable but no longer actively developed.
]]>Pulseaudio support is just the "default", it's still possible to build without it. You could try pulling down the Debianised source and changing the 'mozconfig' options (build flags):
# Uncomment the following option if you have not installed PulseAudio #ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio # and uncomment this if you installed alsa-lib instead of PulseAudio #ac_add_options --enable-alsa
Then remove pulseaudio dependencies from the control file and rebuild the package. Obviously not tried it myself, but I can't see why it wouldn't work...
That citation within the BLFS wiki is outdated. Given the current codebase, we can expect the --enable-alsa directive will be ignored, and the --disable-pulseaudio will result in no sound support.
Here's another (outdated, will be ignored) as found in the current GNUzilla (icecat) build configuration:
--disable-webrtc

Someone mentioned "mozilla... following the Intel model".
Their roadmap (evident if you scour the mozilla wiki) is toward a "membership" or "freemium" model. Users would opt into subscription accounts, to gain benefits of Mozilla-provided: email, oAuth, cloudStorage, sync, groupBuys / specialOffers, antiMalware...

You are the rock-a-doodle-doo sir!
Looks like 57 also requires some updated libraries from what's in jessie, so the whole thing may be a non-starter anyway at least for the current stable Devuan.
