Note that your user agent shows that you run Firefox in compatibility mode for Windows 95 (NT 4.0).

  • Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 4.0; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0

As posted above, check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode.

You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab. Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
