I can't load Kongregate.com with Firefox

I downloaded Firefox to use for the site Kongregate.com (some of its games no longer work with Chrome,) but Firefox seems unable to load the site for me. It just displays the homepage as basic HTML text with no graphics and the links don't work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox multiple times, cleared cookies and cache, restarted in safe mode and nothing changes.

I've tried several other sites (Youtube, Armorgames, etc....) and they all load fine with Firefox, and Kongregate loads fine with other browsers. It's this one site that just won't load for me on FIrefox.

Here is what I see: http://postimg.org/image/djd3jpst7/

Here is what I'm supposed to see: http://www.kongregate.com/

Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Thanks to anyone that can help!

Update your Flash Player Version 19.0.0.185

Note: Edge on Win10 does not use ActiveX version but its own Flash.

Thanks for your reply FredMcD =)

I tried everything on the list and no change. Updated everything that needed it, checked connection settings... Nada.

Anyone have any other ideas?
