Not sure whether this is considered inappropriate here, however I just wanted to say thank you tackling this issue.
The latest Firefox nightly sounds nearly identical to Chrome for me now. So this is a huge improvement! I'm not sure whether this would be worth the effort, however I might see use cases (especially for power users) to configure the SoundTouch without recompiling Firefox. So thanks again for making this happen <3. This has been a show stopper for me to switch from Chrome to Firefox for the past years and now I can finally do the switch. I really grateful for this. FWICT there seem to be many people on the internet who did/could not switch to Firefox because of this bug (OTOH this might be selective perception). Anyway IMHO it might be a good idea communicate this change broadly and not bury it somewhere deep in the changelog. This is a major feature for some people and might be the biggest improvement in Firefox 73! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654480 Title: HTML5 sound choppy when played at 4x Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I use a bookmarklet to set the playback rate on the HTML5 player element to 4x (tested with YouTube).
