Going in Preferences, General, When arrives a message, Makes a Sound,
Uses this audio file:
it happens that clicking on "hear" the audio file isn't played and
when arrives a message, a new e-mail, the audio file isn't played.
Thank You

You are using Linux. If you are using alsa instead of pulseaudio this
behavior is expected. Support for alsa was abandoned by Mozilla. My SM
is also affected.

A workaround for SM is using apulse. This gives sound in the browser.
But sadly not in the cases you mentioned. Some time ago I tested TB to
be sure not only SM was affected and filed a bug against apulse:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/691982

Not much traffic in this bug. *g* Well, I missed the notification of new
mail by sound enough that I tried another way. With success. Works not
only for my SM but also for TB. At least for an old Daily.

I installed pulseaudion on top of alsa. For this I had to get rid of
apulse and also some tweaks were necessary.
