Safari vs Firefox on certain games (or Fun with Browsers)

I'm using MacOS 11.6 (a.k.a. Big Sur)

Just a couple of observations that mean I have to switch between browsers depending on which workout exercise I'm doing.
- Melodix (the one where you play back a melody using the "keyboard" - which, by the way, makes my eyes cross) doesn't work in Safari. It gets stuck at the beginning of the exercise and won’t play the melody. It does, however, work in Firefox.
- Rhythmic parrot - does work in Safari, but won’t recognize taps in Firefox (I've already reported this.)

I did. They've fixed the Melodix one, but the rhythmic parrot in Firefox still isn't working (and I reminded them.)

They let me know they're still working on the Rhythmic Parrot thing. (Why is rhythmic such a difficult word to type?)

I'm having a hard time doing Rhythmic parrot on Safari. I'm using a Mac Book Pro laptop and the keypad is my mouse. Can anyone help with this? I am especially having difficulty with 32nd notes.

For Rhythmic parrot on Firefox you have to click to the right or left of the start button inside of the black border that surrounds the game if you want to tap using your spacebar. Its really annoying because you have to remember to click the border after hitting start and I've failed countless sessions because of it.
