There are a couple of options to get the game to play locally using Mozilla/Firefox.Known bug with Mozilla, for some reason it refuses to run JSON file (which is where the whole story is stored) so if you want to use mozilla to play the game make sure to use ONLINE version!
1) Quick and easy but opening a security hole - open about:config (type in address bar) and toggle the 'privacy.file_unique_origin' to false. This globally disables a security feature - you have been warned...
2) A bit more elaborate but maintaining full security - make sure python3 is installed, then open a terminal/command prompt and navigate to the folder containing 'play.html' and enter 'python3 -m http.server' (return) then in the firefox browser enter the address 'localhost:8000' and click the link to 'play.html'.
p.s It is not a bug (whatever we may think ) in Mozilla but a security feature, and before you ask they have no intention to change it...
