I am confused. According to your website; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/html5-audio-and-video-firefox HTML5 audio and video are “built-in. Maybe I have been miss informed. My understanding is that HTML5 can replace Adobe Flash Player. Unfortunately, HTML5 will not open the anime for this website: https://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=VTX&product=NCR&overlay=11101111&loop=yes In the left column, under REFLECTIVITY are LOOP selections. Click on any of the loops and the large white are should fill with an anime map. (It always worked using Adobe Flash Player.) What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

The website that you have linked still uses Adobe Flash Player, so you still need it to be able to use that website.

HTML5 is not a direct replacement to Adobe Flash Player. Websites are changing their content to HTML5 instead of Adobe Flash Player (AFP) because AFP is being phased out.

However, if a website is still using older AFP technology instead of updating to the new HTML5, you will still need to use AFP to see the content.

Your understanding that HTML5 is a replacement to AFP isn't necessarily incorrect. HTML5 is replacing AFP, but only because the website developers are using HTML5 content instead of old AFP content.

Hope this clears things up a bit for you.
