Ubuntu – Firefox starts in mute by default

firefoxpulseaudiosoundvolume-control

Firefox always starts at 0 vol as if that is supposed to be the default or something.

Any time I adjust the volume in firefox, I have to open pulse audio and turn the volume back up for firefox.

Any time a new video comes on Youtube, I have to open pulse audio and turn the volume back up for firefox.

Any time I skip forward or back in a playing video or track, I have to open pulse audio and turn the volume back up for firefox.

How can I set the default volume to FULL VOLUME?

I mean seriously, isn't that why there is a system volume?

Any help would be appreciated.

I found a solution!

First, I opened firefox went to about:config

searched for: media.default_volume

double clicked media.default_volume

and finally, I changed the value to 5

Additionally, I saw a solution somewhere else that suggested using 2.0 for media.volume_scale,

make sure that media.volume_scale is set to 1.0
