I "solved" the problem by rename the ~/.mozilla directory to
~/.mozilla2
Then I started firefox 75, a new profile is created.

I copied recursive all directories under
~/.mozilla2/firefox/XXXXXXXX.default-release to 
~/.mozilla/firefox/YYYYYYYY.default-release
overwriting all.

Sounds played again!

Then followed this link:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile

and I believe all settings, passwords etc. are back again, and sounds
keep playing.

The problem thus was in a file(s) in the root of ~/.mozilla/firefox/XXXXXXXX.default-release

I could not determine which file(s), I did not want to check all 84
files in that directory.


Thanks to all!
