If it works in Firefox on Windows but not on Linux, then one of two
things is happening:
1) They are blocking Linux for no reason. Try UA spofing. I'm not home
right now, otherwise I would do it.
2) They rely on AcitiveX, Java or some other dangerous script. Windows
users should have that stuff disabled anyway. (yes, there are ActiveX
plugins for Firefox on Windows, at least for the media player bits).
