The results suggests that firefox isn't configured correctly. This is also running on a ubuntu vm server also.
I've checked to see how this also might be resolved from one post it recommends that some parameters need to be added to Firefox to make it work. From the post also it was configured for windows and the case doesn't seem to be as similar.
