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?

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.
