I am sorry to hear that there is a hissing noise when you watch videos on facebook. If this does also happen on other sites that play videos please consider that the speaker may need to be replaced?

YouTube normally uses the HTML5 media player and not the Flash plugin in current Firefox versions. You can check that via the right-click context menu in the player area. The Flash player always shows the Flash version that is used. You can open the YouTube test page via "About the HTML5 player".

Make sure you have the latest GStreamer updates. You can see if it helps f you disable GStreamer support by setting this pref to false on the about:config page.
