#New "read aloud" functionality not working on Firefox (Win/Linux)

Just noticed this new feature, however, it's not working, at least on Firefox (v.123, 64-bit), either on Windows or Linux machines. The button, once pressed, animates into a stop button (as if it would be playing the audio), but no audio comes out, nor can you "stop" the non-audible playback after the button is pressed. I don't know if it's just a placeholder or an actual new feature, but it sure isn't working on FF.

I can confirm this, even with the proper permissions set for the website using firefox, the audio read aloud playback won't work.

#

I tested on safari and edge on my systems. These browsers work fine.

Tried in a new clean enviroment of Windows 11 and clean Firefox with no extensions. It didn't work
