Same exact problem. I wasn't sure it was the latest firefox or pulseaudio, 
so I watched some video offline with mplayer, ffplay and vlc and they all 
had troubles, apparently due to pulseaudio. I did a yum remove pulseaudio 
and now everything seems fine, both in firefox and offline. Incidentally, 
after uninstalling pulseaudio I did 

rpm -qa | grep -i pulseaudio
pulseaudio-libs-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64
pulseaudio-utils-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64

so I still have some leftovers around. I tried then

yum remove pulseaudio*

but then it wanted to uninstall what looked like half of my system, 
including of course the multimedia packages (mplayer, vlc, totem) but 
also  packages like java-openjdk, or system-config-printer, system-config-
keyboard, etc. which, for the life of me, I don't understand what they can 
possibly have to do with pulseaudio. There has to be a better way to 
package these things. 

Long story short, I uninstalled pulseaudio alone, but had to keep 
pulseaudio-libs and pulseaudio-utils for dependency reasons. Again, things 
sound better now.
