It actually seems much worse than that. The thread above says that
ALSA support will be removed from Firefox by Mozilla itself, not by
Debian maintainers:

https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Firefox/No-ALSA-support-after-upgrade-to-52/td-p/1372444

So there will not be any switch in FF 54 to enable ALSA, since there
will not be any ALSA code in there...
