User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 Build ID: 20170323105023 Steps to reproduce: Visit any website with audio playing - https://youtube.com/ for instance. Or on a site with video embedded, but without autoplaying, pressing 'play' on any video with audio. -- Fresh (this morning) macOS Sierra (10.12.4) install on a MacBook Air without a soundcard. Latest Firefox 52.0.2 (64 bit). Actual results: The tab crashes instantly and is replaced with a try again type prompt. If I attach a USB/bluetooth sound card, it works flawlessly with no crashes. Expected results: The video should playback without sound. Or in case of audio files, they should either play back without sound, or display a 'Sorry! No audio device' message.
Do you have some crash reports in the page about:crashes? If yes, paste the links here.

No, it doesn't list tab crashes there. All I see in the tab that crashed is the 'Gah. Your tab just crashed.' with the options to restore or close the tab. Is there a debugging mode I can turn on to get more info?

When I run firefox from a terminal, I get the following output when I visit a URL which crashes it: Assertion failed: (r == 0 && "Deadlock"), function enter, file /builds/slave/m-rel-m64-00000000000000000000/build/src/media/libcubeb/src/cubeb_utils_unix.h, line 58. ###!!!
