I'm having trouble with the sound links on a dictionary site (https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/anglais-francais) not playing properly in Firefox - they work correctly in Vivaldi. When I click on the link, nothing happens. If I right click and open in a new tab, the sound plays in the second tab correctly. In Vivaldi, the sound plays on the first web page as expected. I restarted Firefox with add-ons disabled, no luck. I installed portable Firefox on a flash drive with no add-ons installed or config modifications made and still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I need either to allow the Shockwave Flash plugin via the Lego block icon on the location bar on that website or set Flash to "Never Activate" in "about:addons -> Plugins" to make the mp3 player work. With Flash set to "Ask to Activate" I get no sound or prompt the activate Flash, so it looks that there is a script that tries to detect Flash and when Flash found tries to use a Flash player and that won't work because Flash insn't activated. With Flash set to "Never Activate" the HTML5 media player is used to play the MP3 sound file.
