BTW, Firefox seems to have gone the same way as Skype.

Really? Where? The Firefox I have on Debian is exclusively Pulse.

The Arch Linux firefox packages are build with

ac_add_options --enable-alsa
ac_add_options --enable-jack

However, if Debian packages shouldn't be build with alsa and/or jack,
you could install https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse to use alsa.
Unless you need jack, it's not worse to waste much time building
Firefox on your own, consider to use apulse.

I tried that. Didn't work here. But I use JACK, not ALSA.

apulse works for alsa only,

Well, if I stop JACK (which uses ALSA as its backend), and try apulse, it does nothing.

Thanks for the advice re compiling FF.

I downloaded the tar.bz2 from Firefox and set that up under my /opt tree. I can run it. Any option/setting to make FF from Mozilla's site use ALSA or JACK?
