On the latest nightly of Firefox, when viewing videos on YouTube, or any other site that offers html5 video, my sound is automatically raised, either to about 50%, or 100%. This happens both with h.264 and VP8. I've tried in safe mode, and with a new profile, to no avail. I have alsa and pulseaudio, but if I open a YouTube tab and watch alsamixer, it will jump from wherever I have it to 100% as soon as the video begins playing.

I figure I'll probably need to post a bug report, but I thought I'd try here first.

I've put "flat-volumes=no" in my /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. It's not great, but it fixes the problem for now.

No such luck, but maybe I'll post in there after tomorrow's nightly. I don't get this issue in Chrome, so I don't think it's my system's setup.
