The problem was related to adjusting the firewall and tracking related settings when visiting certain web pages.Setting the protective application to give notice when encountering web page blockage resolved the reported problem I had experienced. Thank you for your attention and e-mail in this regard. Please consider the report as closed.

Example: JSE.co.za., and selectively others. Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The problem exists on all our and our clients ubuntu 15.10/firefox installations. It does not occure in ubuntu/chrome browser. We work on Firefox 45.0. As already mentioned, the JSE.co.za web page is the best example for the flaw. It also brings up the messages from the odd alternative browser controller. Seems to be another attempt to take control and cut out other service providers, not unlike Adobe DC.
