Very low volume on video playback
I am running Firefox on Mint Debian edition, I find the Youtube playback very low volume preset at about 1/4 of max, I try set it to the max but it returned the same after restart. I start FF in trouble shooting mode to disable theme and extension but didn't change thing, I remove and reinstall FF also did not help. I find something strange that, on the Help menu it said the updates disabled by system administrator but I did not do that, it is now on 116.0 64bits, any comment ?
Chosen solution
For the sound issue I would try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

If you're experiencing very low volume on video playback in Firefox, there are several potential causes and solutions to consider:
Check Browser Volume: Before exploring other options, make sure that the volume settings within the Firefox browser are set appropriately. Click on the audio icon in the video player to adjust the volume slider.
System Volume Settings: Check your computer's system volume settings. Ensure that the volume is turned up and not muted. Also, check if there are any separate volume controls on your device, such as function keys on a laptop.

I reinstall Mint and the problem solved.
