Same issue here. Garbled noises are being heard on top of my music
(playing in the background via Rhythmbox) after starting Firefox and
visiting some random website.
My desktop is an AMD Ryzen on a Gigabyte X570 mobo with an nVidia
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GPU. Like others noted, the noises seem stop for a
while when I change the Output Device from "Line Out - Starship/Matisse"
to "HDMI / DisplayPort X - GP106 High Definition Audio Controller". But
after some minutes playback (or perhaps visiting some other page with
firefox?), the garbled noises appear again... Also, like others, the
noises disappear if I close Firefox...

Title:
Firefox sometimes causes garbled audio
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Opening certain applications/websites at the same time as Firefox
causes the audio to become garbled.
The audio sounds distorted with an echo.
Certain actions are guaranteed to cause this, but it can also
happening when only running instances of Firefox.
I've been able to consistently cause this by launching Zoom from a link
within Firefox.
This does not occur when using Chrome.
The only way to fix the issue is to shut down all audio-related
programs.
