I'm less concerned with firefox being broken on 32-bit CentOS 6 systems when the platform is only going to live for another month. Frankly, I'm glad to see flash die just a little earlier.
It isn't just 32-bit, but also 64-bit, and it isn't just Flash, but also HTML 5.
To notice the bug, all you have to do is try to watch any video at Youtube or elsewhere, if the video has sound.
Also, it is specific to FF 78. FF 68 and eveythhing else in CentOS 6 that uses audio, works just fine. This suggests it is possibly a FF 78 problem. Does FF 78 sound work properly in CentOS 7 and 8? Does anyone know?
FF 78 seems to work OK here in a CentOS 8 VM. FF 78 is apparently not offered to CentOS 7. Failed in testing, perhaps?? Latest firefox version for CentOS 7 is 68.0.12.0-1.
It will be in 7.9.2009 as an update. Should be in CR sometime within a week. It is in git.centos.org now:
https://git.centos.org/rpms/firefox/commits/c7
I released the CR up to 7.9.2009 GA for x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le yesterday:

Status of 7.9.2009: https://wiki.centos.org/About/Building_7
TL;DR Keep an eye on the CR Announce list for firefox 78 in el7 .. and keep an eye on the Building_7 for 7.9,.2009 status. Probably 14 or so days (estimate) to a full release.
