The attached patch can be used to switch firefox-esr to the correct MOZ_UPDATE_CHANNEL "esr" instead of "default" (which provided the incompatible Gecko Media Plugins widevine and openh264)
From: Charlemange Lasse <charlemagnela...@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2019 08:53:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Switch to ESR update channel for GMP downloads It was noticed that the Debian stretch version (and most likely also the Debian buster) of firefox-esr uses the wrong channel to search for components. As result, the downloaded components don't work with the esr browser and break major parts of the multimedia features of the browser. This was also confirmed by a Mozilla developer https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1524830#c4 The fix is to use MOZ_UPDATE_CHANNEL "esr" and not "default". --- debian/browser.mozconfig.in | 1 + debian/changelog | 9 +++++++++ 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+) --- a/debian/browser.mozconfig.in +++ b/debian/browser.mozconfig.in @@ -43,3 +43,4 @@ ac_add_options --disable-updater ac_add_options --enable-pie ac_add_options --with-unsigned-addon-scopes=app,system ac_add_options --enable-alsa +ac_add_options --enable-update-channel=esr --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,12 @@ +firefox-esr (60.5.0esr-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium + + [ Charlemagne Lasse ] + + * Fix download of esr compatible Gecko Media Plugins (widevine, openh264) by + switching to "esr" update channel (Closes: #921381, #921121, #921654) + + -- Charlemange Lasse <charlemagnela...@gmail.com> Sat, 09 Feb 2019 08:47:47 +0100 + firefox-esr (60.5.0esr-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release.
