I did a yum update on my CentOS 6 laptop and it upgraded Firefox to 78, and FF stopped seeing my mic and speakers. Is there some magic I need to do? As a short term (?) fix, I downgraded back to Firefox 68. My system is otherwise up-to-date.

I'm seeing the same problem (I'm not using any mic) on several CentOS 6 systems. I posted about it here back on Sept. 29. https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2020-September/351667.html

Downgrading, and excluding the 78.3.0-1 from yum is my workaround.

Well, the good news is you have over a month to migrate away from CentOS 6, which goes end of life at the end of November, 2020.
