Firefox on XO

Hi All

I have installed Firefox on the current 13.2.8 build on XO-1.5 and it works
OK except that there is no sound on some websites.
Other sites work OK.

This seems to be a known problem:

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/144395/firefox-html5-asoundrc-no-sound

The issue seems to revolve around getting FF to use ALSA for sound, and
without installing PulseAudio.

I am wondering if anyone using Firefox on XO has encountered and/or solved
this problem.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Some sites for testing the audio. Open any of these in a new tab and you
should hear audio.
