Found a solution, thanks to Bigsleep62:
"I solved this problem by going to settings -> system -> sound, then under "Advanced" click "Volume Mixer," then at the bottom press "Reset sound devices..." Windows 10"
It worked for me on Windows 11 too
A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox

I had this happen last night, did the reset sound devices but had to refresh the active tab playing video to get the sound working.
You can also get straight to Volume Mixer in the start menu by typing Mixer, I use it multiple times a day for workflow
Yesterday I had an issue where the audio for Firefox was set to "mute" on Linux, even after a restart of the browser. I'm not sure if it was my own fault and thought that I hit a key combination to mute it. When I checked in my operating system the audio for this application, it was on mute and I have no idea why. After unmuting its normal now. I update frequently, so maybe this was a problem with the update after all.
