Steps to reproduce:
Navigate to the ChatGPT application using the Firefox browser.
Enter text into the ChatGPT input area and initiate the text-to-speech function.

Expected result:
The text should be read out loud by the text-to-speech functionality, with clear audio emanating from the speakers or headphones.

Actual result:
No sound is heard when the text-to-speech function is activated; the application appears to be running, but there is no audio output.

Additional information:
Browser: Firefox 123.0.1 64bit
OS: Windows 11

My guess: Firefox does not support streaming AAC, so they now preload the entire AAC file and play that. This might explain the relatively long loading times for Read Aloud in Firefox compared to Chrome.
