User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170628075643
Steps to reproduce:
The code below (basically, click on a gif and play a sound) works in Safari, Opera and Seamonkey. It also worked in Firefox up to and including v50.
In versions 53-55, Firefox produces a white page displaying [object Promise].
I've run Firefox in Safe mode and with a new profile, but no joy.

The HTMLMediaElement.play() was changed according to spec.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/53
and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1244768
if you modify the code as follows, then it will be working again.
<A HREF="javascript:myAudio.play();void(0)"><IMG SRC="lamp.gif" ALT="Lamp"></A>
