Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-gecko mailing list
<gecko at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 233428: www/firefox no sound whilst www/firefox-i18n is installed,
I18N_ARGUMENT_MISSING
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233428



--- Description ---
Partly spun off from 
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2018-November/071997.html>

After finding no sound in Firefox 63.0.3,1 or (deleted port) Waterfox 56.2.5, I
used poudriere to build packages for those two applications – plus
firefox-i18n-63.0.3 – then upgraded/installed using all three packages. 

Waterfox is fine but Firefox had no sound. 

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvuhlrKikOc> for example. 

Visual symptom
--------------

KDE ▶ Audio Volume (widget) ▶ Applications ▶ Playback Streams 

> AudioStream: %2(I18N_ARGUMENT_MISSING)

– a side effect of bug 232355, I guess: 

> www/firefox-i18n: language packs don't load

Should we keep this audio issue separate? 


Workaround
==========

I regained audio by removing firefox-i18n.
