[Support] Firefox severly distorting the voice of videos on Linux

edit: It turns out it was because I had made a minor change in my firefox config to make my browser cosplay as an edge browser (so I can use their new search AI), it's because of that minor change that I am facing this problem. Revert back and everything works out.

I have had this problem for a few days now, Firefox has been distorting the voice of videos for a good while now and I don't know the cause of the problem, it's unlikely the extensions are doing it because I tried opening a random reddit video on a private tab and it didn't work out either. Any help regarding this would be helpful!

This is the original video, again, I am not into the politics of it, but this video was instantly available and I recorded it.

Here is what I heard: https://imgur.com/a/kYxyBvV

  • That's certainly a huge improvement IMO

    🤣

    Nobody can help because nobody knows what software you're running.

    To check Firefox, you go to about:profiles and create/test a new one.

    To fix your Operating System you go to your Operating System FORUM and put in a well formatted request for assistance.

    Some Firefox people are also over at https://fedia.io/m/firefox so go try there.

    FYI: I opened your link and it plays perfectly in Firefox.
