Arch is a pragmatic distribution, both for the users and developers.
Upstream decided to make pulseaudio a hard dependency specifically to
reduce maintenance costs on their end. Arch devs really aren't in the
business of adopting such maintenance costs. The pragmatic solution is to
follow upstream.

If you have a problem with that, take it up with the Firefox devs, not us.
