It would be possible, but the issue with OpenCL is that the software isn't there to support the hardware on Linux. Even though many of us have OpenCL-capable graphics cards, relatively few of us have the drivers on Linux to use it properly. That said, Servo's WebRender is making extensive use of the GPU in ways that no other web renderer has done before. In addition to OpenGL, there is also Vulkan support in the works. It's likely that we could eventually get GPGPU support through Vulkan.
Can anybody clarify what role Vulkan is capable of playing in GPGPU compute scenarios?

They won't specially since pulse works for 99.9% of their users, find another browser or rollback to a previous version or you maintain an up to date ALSA only build of Firefox for those in the tin foil hat community
