CentOS - Sep 2020 - No sound after latest Firefox update (firefox-78.3.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64)

With Firefox updated to firefox-78.3.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64, I cannot get sound
from Firefox. I've tried restarting pulseaudio, also logging out and logging
back in. No help. Other A/V apps work just fine. Downgrading to
firefox-68.12.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64 makes sound work again. For now, I've
excluded version firefox-78.3.0-1 from yum updates.

Anyone else seeing this? Any hints?

No problem here .. but as a reminder .. EOL for CentOS-6 is about 1
month away (Nov 2020).

That means , once we hit it, no more updates.

I still have 3 CentOS-6 installations: 1 desktop, 1 laptop, and
1 virtual machine. On all of them, I get no sound from firefox-78.3.0-1
and have to downgrade to firefox-68.12.0-1. I've tried with all
add-ons disabled (Boy, youtube is a pain without adblock.) and
there is still no sound. I don't know what else to try.

I don't know what I'll do after CentOS-6 goes EOL. I absolutely
cannot tolerate CentOS-8.
