Did you try the instructions I provided previously?

Those were for IE11, not FF. I want to leave IE as close as
possible to what Windows expects. Otherwise I suspect I may have
problems with web pages that embed Office docs.

Well, I provided two sets, actually. One for FF, one for IE. The FF
one was a link...

Btw, I tested the site using FF52.0.2 using the same plugins I have
on the Windows FF, the site loads fine. They are both using the same
version of CryptoData, too. I'm starting to wonder if you have
something borked in your profile configuration now...

The link to mozilla you gave (on removing extensions & themes)
suggests instead to simply disable problematic plugins, and they
were already disabled.

Actually, it goes a bit further than that. Provides instructions for
whacking the associated XPI files...but, the following is the nitty
gritty for doing it all by hand.

Anyhow. If you're using XP...

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox

You'll see a 'profiles' folder. Inside of this (back this entire
folder up, including the profiles.ini file in the firefox folder);
You can easily migrate your entire 'firefox' to another machine,
different, OS, whatever you like with that...

Head into your profile folder, you'll see some wonky generated folder
name. Enter it. Inside, is an extensions folder. This is where all of
your 3rd party firefox plugins live.

prefs.js is in the folder prior to the extensions. open it in
notepad. You can find most of the plugins you have by name and their
associated 'filename' in the extensions folder. Er, don't edit this
file in notepad.. it's very picky. just use it to help you determine
which is which in the extensions folder, and, whack the *******
accordingly.

Of course, you don't want to do any of this while firefox is running,
AND, backup your profile folder including the profiles.ini file
before you touch a damn thing.

You might not want to kill widevine though...It's a useful plugin.

And if this doesn't work for you, post back and we'll go another
route.
