I seem to recall a similar problem accessing a Linksys E1200 a while
back. I can't remember exactly what fixed it but 'think' I resolved it
by enabling TLS 1.0 (Preferences|Privacy & Security|SSL/TLS). For certs
I have: 'Client Certificate Selection: Select Automatically', OCSP
unchecked.

There are also suggestions that turning off "Do not track" does the trick:

and
https://www.google.com/#q=Browser+not+authentication-capable+or+authentication+failed
but I don't recall ever turning on that in Firefox or SeaMonkey - might
be worth checking.
