https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1962139 has "wontfix" against the firefox-esr140 branch, so I suppose Debian's only option for forky is to provide libavcodec61 at least until the next esr major version.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1962139#c46 for rationale for not adding support for ffmpeg 8 / libavcodec 62 to firefox-esr 140:
ESR140 is only receiving stability fixes
I suppose Debian could backport the fix. Comments on that bug suggest it wouldn't be too hard.
