Firefox does not play audio from the Pipedreams.org website

I cannot get Firefox 72.0.2 (64 bit) running on my MacMini Catalina 10.15.3 to play the audio from the following page https://www.yourclassical.org/programs/pipedreams/episodes When I click the "play" button nothing happens. It should change to the location of the audio file and play (I know this from the behavior on my Windows 10 machine running Firefox. I have followed all of the suggestions found on the several help pages I found but none of the things that I did fixed the problem issue. The same page in Safari plays the audio and the same page on my Windows 10 system using Firefox also works. I have observed that some mouse clicks in Firefox on my Mac do not work as expected but when I have the same page open in Firefox on my Windows 10 machine it does work as expected. Could this have something to do with the way I have the mouse configured on my Mac? Despite what the attached image shows the audio is not playing on my Mac. If you need additional information please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you.

Hello,

Just to confirm, you can hear audio from other sources in Firefox (eg. YouTube)? What happens if you click this link: https://download.stream.publicradio.org/pipedreams/2020/01/27_pipedreams_128.mp3

The above is the direct link to the audio you tried to play. Does it let you download, and does the audio file work?

Could you run this test here: https://html5test.com/

then click "Save results", copy that link, and send it to us?
