Subject: Firefox - no sound

Package: Firefox (direct download)
Version: 76-0-1 (64bit)

No sound from Firefox if downloaded from web-site. Sound in installed
package firefox, version firefox-esr, 68.8.0esr-1 works fine. Sound from
Google-Chrome (downloaded from Google also works fine). If I start
pulseaudio manually from terminal, sound works in downloaded Firefox.

I suspect this is that you need to enable pulseaudio autospawn as documented in
the Release Notes[1].

Please confirm if that resolves your issue.

Thanks
