I think you misunderstood what I was saying.

My hypothesis is that something in iD has started using a data URL
where it didn't before and that is triggering a latent bug in your
version of firefox (in that it is checking that URL against the
media-src rule in our security policy) while newer versions of
firefox are checking it against some other rule.

Without knowing more about which load is being blocked it's not
really possible to say more and I might be totally wrong as I'm
just guessing from the limited information available.
