It may be a firefox issue and/or a pipewire issue.
My setup is this:
i use the same speakers for 2 PCs. The speakers are plugged on my ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q monitor. The arch linux pc is plugged on it via HDMI. The other PC is plugged on DP. I switch between the 2 pcs with the monitor's onboard menu.
Please note that many linux distros i installed before all had popping sound issues... all but fedora KDE plasma.
When i installed arch linux, i did have popping issues. One of the main reasons i opted for arch linux is because of the crazy useful wiki and forum! i found a fix here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=265138
the problem came back after executing the above updates.
Any help is appreciated!

edit: the popping happens on other occasions too:
pops once right when i start watching a video on youtube (really not often)
sometimes when i open a page on a new tab
pops when clicking on the speaker icon on the task bar right after hearing a popping sound
the popping seem to manifest more often when facebook is opened on a tab.
this is driving me nuts. can someone help?

I got this in other applications. It was the pipewire update so I rolled back and for the moment I'm blocking these updates:
warning: pipewire: ignoring package upgrade (1:0.3.51-1 => 1:0.3.52-1)
warning: pipewire-pulse: ignoring package upgrade (1:0.3.51-1 => 1:0.3.52-1)

wow... how did you rollback? it has soooo many apps that depends on it, right? and how does one ignore that specific version while updating daily?
edit: do you think it would be worth reporting it? as in declaring the issue in pipewire's github repo or something...

UPDATE:
For those looking for a potential fix, creating the following file will set the sampling at 48000:
/etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/sample-rates.conf
content:
context.properties = {
default.clock.allowed-rates = [ 48000 ]
}
