Same problem here. Bug also affects Firefox 3.5 both independently installed (from tar.gz at mozilla.org) and from ubuntu debs.

I notice that in the new (and shiny!) sound interface it does not list Firefox as playing/recording sound as it does when Totem or another app is running.

bug 317330 is related to a different version of Firefox (3.0), not 3.5. In fact, the latest comment on that bug suggests an upgrade of Firefox to 3.5, which would most likely bring that bug inline with this one (so which is the duplicate I am unsure).

I also upgrade my 9.04 to 9.10 and am unable to hear any sound in Firefox. I have tried following <a href="http://www.khattam.info/2009/09/09/solved-sound-problem-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala-alpha-4-due-to-pulseaudio/">this advice</a>, but removing PulseAudio and adding eSound did not help. And yes, I did re-install the flashplugin-installer package before and after making these changes.

I also did not see firefox show up in the sound interface.
