G'day Terry, You didn't mention which version of Firefox.
With firefox-26.0-2 from the Fedora 18 repository your no-sound issue with those sites reproduces. Then I installed apulse, a PulseAudio emulation for ALSA, but the problem persisted. Looking at /proc/$(pidof firefox)/smaps the libpulse libraries are not mapped. Which Firefox are you trying, and how are you trying it?
