The above link works fine in Chrome, but not in Firefox.

This is unfortunately common :(

Another example that doesn't work in FF: https://dancebetternow.typepad.com/blog/2015/08/the-8-myths-you-incorrectly-believe-about-better-dancers.html#:~:text=remember%20that%20much%20of%20learning%20is%20actually%20processing%20what%20you%20have%20learned%20in%20your%20lesson%2C%20and%20not%20just%20doing%20the%20lesson.

I think at this stage it's best to wait for Mozilla to implement, since they are positive about the feature.

They updated their position like a year ago, so it doesn’t seem like they are prioritizing implementing it and it seems unfortunate that this is partially broken for FF :(
