The example for speech recognition that is linked on that page does not work in Firefox, as the Speech Recognition API is not supported, let alone exposed. Since you had not provided details on how you had tested for support, I am closing this as there is no actionable information.

@queengooborg Sorry for the confusion. I was under the impression it was supported.

From the mozilla page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API , it mentions

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2018.

which confused me. It looks firefox don't have support yet. So wonder why the text above is shown though.

Hmm, it seems that the Baseline banner might only be based on one aspect of the Web Speech API, which is the speech synthesis, not speech recognition. I'd recommend filing an issue with the repository responsible for Baseline: https://github.com/web-platform-dx/web-features
