   I tried again with the new ffx version (57.0.3) and I still have no
   sound, even after running pavucontrol.
   But I discovered that when running  firefox and pulseaudio
   as root, the sound works perfectly.
   Can anybody explain that?

check what is set as default in your not working profile in pavucontrol.
I found that when the audio device is set as default it works. perhaps FF
has same problem. This is the green checked mark on the right in output.

other option is you lack permissions - if FF is only app with this issue
unlikely.

   Alas, the audio device is the good one in pavucontrol, and
   actually, the files pavucontrol.ini are identical

    yes, ffx is the only app with this issue

   I think that until a fix is found, I'll run ffx as root.

   thank you for your help.
