PC was connected to the TV via HDMI. After disconnection Firefox stopped playing sound. Before connecting it was working perfectly.

Other browser and apps are working fine.

Was Firefox still running when you disconnected HDMI connection? if so is sound fine after restarting Firefox?

Did you make sure sound for Firefox was not muted?

@James Firefox was still running when HDMI was disconnected. After: restart, reboot, reinstall it's still not working. Of course sound is not muted :) I've tried on several services as YouTube, Netflix etc. Video is working fine but not audio.

@Pkshadow Firefox is supporting HTML5 and all other stuff. Nothing helps.

As I said it was working for some time. Then I want to watch netflix on TV and it happened.
