The issue is indeed reproducible on mobile device.
Note: In order to have the same layout as the attached screenshot, "Request desktop site" was enabled.

Affected area:

<a class="player-loading" title="加载中"></a>

Click EV

function(e) {
  var t = $(this),
    n = t.attr("href");
  if (t.is("[mustlogin]") && !r.isLogin()) return E(n), !1;
  if (t.is("[hashlink]")) {
    if (o.isSpecial(t)) return i.path = n, i.pushState(""), !1;
    if (!history.pushState) return;
    if ($(e.target).is("[hashlink-disable]")) {
      e.preventDefault();
      return
    }
    if (!n) return;
    var s = S(n),
      u = t.attr("hashlink"),
      a = t.is("[unencode]"),
      f = i.isToSub(u);
    n = n.replace(s, ""), n = n || "/", n = f && i.hashlink(u) ? i.hashlink(u) : n, i.toPage(n, f, u, a), e.preventDefault();
    return
  }
  if (t.is('[onclick="return false;"]') || n == "javascript:;") return
}

Console:

Tested with:
Browser / Version: Firefox Mobile Nightly 61.0a1 (2018-03-21)
Operating System: Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (Android 7.0) - 1536 x 2048 pixels, 4:3 ratio (~264 ppi density), Google Pixel (Android 8.0.0) - 1080 x 1920 pixels (~441 ppi pixel density)

Moving to Needsdiagnosis for further investigation.

note that this layout didn't create issues to me with Firefox Tablet UA on this URI http://m.ximalaya.com/14647138/album/6527131/

So there is a working site. Firefox Nightly WebIDE doesn't let me put a breakpoint on almond.js

Let's see with Chrome.

On Chrome it is checking if it's playable, then plays it.

Opened this issue for being unable to open a breakpoint on Firefox devtools with this site.
firefox-devtools/debugger#5782

[karlcow]

So this is working in Firefox desktop even with touch events on macos. I can reproduce on Firefox mobile with request desktop site, but being unable to set a breakpoint it is a bit hard to investigate for now.

Tried playing a song in Firefox 59 (Ubuntu 16.04) and it's a M4A file with AAC codec

AAC is currently not supported in Firefox, unless if contained in an MP4 video file (see MDN page). This could be another cause of the problem.

tested again today and everything seems to be working both on desktop and mobile.

[softvision-oana-arbuzov]

I've also retested and the issue is no longer reproducible. Checked both with "Request desktop site" option enabled and disabled.
