Firefox never includes intermediate certificates. It is the responsibility of a server to include all required intermediate certificate to make it possible to build a certificate chain that ends with a built-in trusted root certificate.
Note that Firefox automatically stores intermediate certificates that servers send in the Certificate Manager for future usage (they appear labeled as "Software Security Device" in the Authorities tab). If a server doesn't send a full certificate chain then you won't get an untrusted error when Firefox has stored missing intermediate certificates from visiting a server in the past that has send it, but you do get an untrusted error if this intermediate certificate isn't stored yet.
