I think it's a dupe of bug 1193393 which is already fixed in Firefox 42+. Could you download Aurora (42) or Nightly (43) and confirm the application doesn't fail to load.

Aurora:  https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/all/
Nightly: https://nightly.mozilla.org/

Forget my previous message. It's probably due to Asynchronous Plugin Initialization enabled by default in FF40.

But I'm not able to reproduce it with the URL https://trade.tdameritrade.com/ even if I reload the page 10x.
On your screenshot, I see the URL is different (probably this one of your dev server), maybe it's reproducible only in this environment.

Could you provide a different URL testcase?

Yes, the url used in the screenshot is a testing environment. However, we are also experiencing this issue in the  production url  https://trade.tdameritrade.com.

I reproduced only once. Could you set about:config>dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit=false (restart FF) and test on your side to know if it's reproducible?

Comment 5

This is no longer reproducible after setting the config preference dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit to false.

Please try to verify on the next beta 41 release.

Reproduced with Firefox 41 beta 2 build.
The issue no longer occurs with Firefox 41 beta 5 under Win 7 64-bit and Mac OS X 10.9.5.
