You don't need to configure Firefox. If a sound server, either
pulseaudio or jack already grabbed the audio interface via ALSA,
Firefox does automatically connect to the sound server. If no sound
server is running and no other app already grabbed the audio interface
via ALSA, Firefox automatically does use ALSA. I don't know how Firefox
will behave, if two sound servers are running and bridged. However,
only one application can grab the default audio interface, so only one
sound server can use it.
