Hello. Thanks for this hint! I deactivated ALSA in the opetions-menu (as well as RTC stuff since it only builds with ALSA). I used PULSEAUDIO instead. I also configured the option in Firefox itself as recommended. The result is, that now the videos, no matter how they are embedded in a webpage, can be played again and Firefox isn't crashing anymore. dom.ipc.plugins.enabled -> true also remains the Firefox stable. oh
