I recall someone mentioning a way to make Firefox look like it's a
Windows version instead of a Linux version, but I don't recall what it's
called. Can someone please provide a clue stick?

Which version of Firefox are you using?
96.0.1 (64-bit)
Are you using a package from your
Linux distribution or did you directly download Firefox from Mozilla.
I didn't do anything to get it. It came with the distribution, Linux
Mint Mate 20.2, MATE.
I
decided last year sometime that the distribution updates of Firefox were
not keeping up quickly enough so I just installed directly from Mozilla. It
works fine. I can't tell from the Xfinity junk whether they are checking
for browser versions or operating system but if you just need to update
Firefox here is the link
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/
and instructions for installing it on Ubuntu
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion/MozillaBuilds
Based on my response to Robert, I think they check at different levels
for different things, since I am able to use the scheduling tool, but
not play a program in Linux Firefox, but am able to do both in Win7 Firefox.
If I need to get fancier in the future, I'll remember your
recommendation about getting Firefox directly from Mozilla.
Thanks.
