I tried to fix it by installing microsoft fonts on my device. They load and work on all other websites I have tried, but this game.

The problem was caused by some anti-browser finger print setting in about:config

This setting does two things.

1)It changes the useragent from firefox/linux to firefox/windows10 & 2)It won't tell the website what fonts you have available.

I would say the later probably messed up you site. It is all good now;)
