Meanwhile (new Kubuntu 14 installation & FF 51) I'm back where I began.
The workaround with the "media.volume_scale" used to work, but now no more.

Every time I switch in FF to another video stream, volume is switched to 0%. Interestingly this does not happen, when I let the video play until the end. I even can jump through the video but I may not loose focus of the video tab but I may loose focus of the window.

All other audio controls remain stable where I left them the last time.

So now I just tried to play around with this setting and found out that – now – any value above 1.0 will kill the sound when switching to another video stream or loosing tab's focus.
Setting any value blow or equal to 1.0 will reset the volume this value on switching.

If I do not loose the videos focus (I guess, that's the point of it) the volume remains where it was set before and even through restarting FF or Kubuntu.

So, this problem is a real paint is the a… !!!
Could please someone fix that?
Or does anyone have a better workaround?
Or a better browser without loosing all those fine addons I got used to?

HELP !!! PLEASE !!!
