Reproduce the issue at https://makecode.microbit.org/beta in Firefox on macOS by creating a project and adding a sound block. Trace the simulator's mute-button rendering and browser-specific behavior; done when Firefox plays sound automatically without rendering the mute button, while Safari retains the required control.
