According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Vibration_API, this is disabled intentionally due to abuse concerns.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1653318 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1591113 are referenced.
A permission-based approach, like we have on other features for websites ( notably autoplay) might work if we ever decide to fix this.

I think we can resolve this bug as a duplicate of navigator.vibrate() bug 1653318.
